System for controlling opening/closing of shutter for vehicle

A system for controlling opening/closing of a shutter for a vehicle, the shutter being disposed at an opening section through which outside air is introduced into a driving source housing chamber that houses a driving source of the vehicle, the system comprising:

• a temperature detecting unit that detects a temperature in the driving source housing chamber or a temperature of the driving source;
• an opening/closing control unit that brings the shutter into an open state when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit exceeds a predetermined threshold, and brings the shutter into a closed state when the temperature is equal to or lower than the threshold;
• and
• a traveling state predicting unit that includes a map information acquiring section that acquires map information related to a map around the vehicle, and a path information acquiring section that acquires path information related to paths on which the vehicle travels, and predicts a traveling state of the vehicle after a lapse of a predetermined time based on the map information acquired by the map information acquiring section and the path information acquired by the path information acquiring section,
• the opening/closing control unit including a threshold changing section that changes the threshold based on the traveling state of the vehicle after the lapse of the predetermined time predicted by the traveling state predicting unit.
