Vehicle air conditioning control device

A vehicle air conditioning control device to be included in a vehicle to control an air conditioner in said vehicle, said device comprising:

• a target environment condition setter that inputs target environment conditions including a vehicle-interior-temperature set value, a vehicle-interior-temperature upper-limit value, and a vehicle-interior-temperature lower-limit value that are predetermined;
• a vehicle interior environment detector that detects a vehicle interior environment including a vehicle interior temperature and a vehicle interior humidity;
• a vehicle exterior environment detector that detects a vehicle exterior environment including a vehicle exterior temperature being a temperature of the outside of said vehicle;
• a vehicle condition detector that detects vehicle conditions including a position, a passenger load factor, and power-running/regenerative electric power of said vehicle;
• a vehicle condition predicting unit that predicts an acceleration at or after a prediction time point, a velocity at or after the prediction time point, a slope at or after the prediction time point, and the passenger load factor at or after the prediction time point of said vehicle on the basis of a travel plan and passenger-load-factor information indicating a past passenger load factor of said vehicle;
• a thermal load calculating unit that calculates a thermal load in said vehicle on the basis of said vehicle interior temperature and said vehicle interior humidity that are detected by said vehicle interior environment detector, said vehicle exterior temperature that is detected by said vehicle exterior environment detector, said passenger load factor that is detected by said vehicle condition detector, and said vehicle-interior-temperature set value that is input by said target environment condition setter;
• a power-running/regenerative electric power predicting unit that predicts the power-running/regenerative electric power at or after said prediction time point on the basis of the acceleration at or after said prediction time point, the velocity at or after said prediction time point, the slope at or after said prediction time point, and the passenger load factor at or after said prediction time point of said vehicle that are predicted by said vehicle condition predicting unit;
• an air conditioning output calculating unit that calculates an output command value for said air conditioner on the basis of said vehicle-interior-temperature upper-limit value and said vehicle-interior-temperature lower-limit value that are input by said target environment condition setter, said thermal load that is calculated by said thermal load calculating unit, said power-running/regenerative electric power that is detected by said vehicle condition detector, the power-running/regenerative electric power at or after said prediction time point that is predicted by said power-running/regenerative electric power predicting unit, and the passenger load factor at or after said prediction time point that is predicted by said vehicle condition predicting unit;
• and
• an air conditioning controller that controls an output of said air conditioner on the basis of the output command value for said air conditioner that is calculated by said air conditioning output calculating unit,
• wherein said air conditioning output calculating unit corrects the output command value for said air conditioner on the basis of said power-running/regenerative electric power that is detected by said vehicle condition detector, the power-running/regenerative electric power at or after said prediction time point that is predicted by said power-running/regenerative electric power predicting unit, and the passenger load factor at or after said prediction time point that is predicted by said vehicle condition predicting unit.
