Apparatus, method, and program for drivingly controlling hybrid vehicles

An apparatus for drivingly controlling hybrid vehicles, comprising:

• a drive motor;
• current position detection means for detecting a current position;
• road-condition information acquisition processing means for acquiring information regarding road conditions;
• required deceleration calculation processing means for calculating a required deceleration on the basis of the current position and the information regarding road conditions;
• optimal speed-change stage calculation processing means for calculating an optimal speed-change stage on the basis of the required deceleration;
• adjustable torque calculation processing means for calculating an adjustable torque on the basis of the required deceleration and a deceleration corresponding to the optimal speed-change stage;
• a transmission for performing a speed-change operation on the basis of the optimal speed-change stage;
• and
• torque control processing means for driving the drive motor to generate the adjustable torque.
