Abstract
In a vehicle with a driving power source (an engine, a motor generator, or a similar component) to output driving power for running to a driving wheel, in a case where a restart is requested on the driving power source in an accelerator-on state after a stop operation is performed on the driving power source (a hybrid system) during running of a vehicle, the driving power corresponding to an accelerator position at the time of restart request is not directly output. Instead, the driving power is output to the driving wheels while being gradually increased. This reduces deterioration of drivability in recovery of the driving power.
Claims9
A control apparatus for a vehicle with a driving power source to output driving power for running to a driving wheel, wherein
- in a case where a restart is requested on the driving power source in an accelerator-on state after a stop operation is performed on the driving power source during running of the vehicle and before the vehicle stops running and an accelerator position difference between an accelerator position upon the restart request of the driving power source and an accelerator position upon the stop operation of the driving power source is equal to or more than a predetermined determination value, the control apparatus performs a driving power moderating control that gradually increases driving power output to the driving wheel, in a case where the accelerator position difference is smaller than the determination value, the control apparatus does not perform the driving power moderating control, and
- in a case where the restart is requested on the driving power source in the accelerator-on state after the stop operation is performed on the driving power source during running of the vehicle and an accelerator operation is repeatedly performed between on and off after the restart request, the driving power moderating control increases a degree of gradual increase in the driving power output to the driving wheel every time the accelerator-on operation is performed.
(canceled)
A control apparatus for a vehicle with a driving power source to output driving power for running to a driving wheel, wherein
- when the driving power source is restarted by a start operation of the driving power source in an accelerator-on state after a stop operation is performed on the driving power source during running of the vehicle and before the vehicle stops running, in a case where an accelerator position difference between an accelerator position upon the restart operation of the driving power source and an accelerator position upon the stop operation of the driving power source is equal to or more than a predetermined determination value, the control apparatus performs a driving power moderating control that gradually increase driving power output from the driving power source to the driving wheel, in a case where the accelerator position difference is smaller than the determination value, the control apparatus does not to perform the driving power moderating control, and
- in a case where the start operation of the driving power source is performed in the accelerator-on state after the stop operation is performed on the driving power source during running of the vehicle and an accelerator operation is repeatedly performed between on and off after the start operation, the driving power moderating control increases a degree of gradual increase in the driving power output to the driving wheel every time the accelerator-on operation is performed.
