PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control device that properly divides a predetermined zone to a request to divide the zone into mutually different divisions by several kinds of traveling controls, while considering the restriction of a storage capacity.SOLUTION: When the storage capacity of a memory part 82 to store traveling load information for each division produced by dividing a link, becomes insufficient to a request to divide the link into mutually different divisions by the several kinds of traveling controls, the requests for different divisions are adjusted because a division adjustment part 84 sorts out the different division requests, and then the link is properly divided in consideration of the restriction of storage capacity of the memory part 82.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a learning value updating control device for a vehicle, allowing a learning value that has been learned so far to be succeeded and utilized, when a mounted component of the vehicle is exchanged.SOLUTION: When the mounted component of the vehicle 6 is exchanged, a learning value updating means 72 updates the stored learning value based on a characteristic of the mounted component after the exchange. Therefore, since the learning value obtained by running of the vehicle before the exchange of the mounted component is transformed into the value suitable for the characteristics of the mounted component after exchange, the learning value is succeeded and utilized after the exchange of the mounted component. As a result, the learning value suitable for control (for example, regeneration early stage control) of the vehicle 6 after the exchange of the mounted component is obtained at an earlier stage than when the learning value is initialized at the exchange time of the mounted component.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle travel control system capable of controlling a traveling state of a vehicle in accordance with a driver's feeling in a traveling road having multiple curved sections.SOLUTION: The vehicle travel control system includes a traveling state changer for changing the traveling state of a vehicle and a controller for controlling the traveling state changer according to a corner. The controller controls, for a front traveling road having a section regarded as a straight road and two curved sections connected by the section regarded as a straight road, the traveling state changer by setting the two curved sections as independent corners from each other (S6 to S9) when the behavior of the vehicle is predicted to be stable while traveling on the section regarded as a straight road from one side to the other side of the two curved sections (Y in S5) based on a travel history by a driver. The controller further controls the traveling state changer by setting the two curved sections and the section regarded as a straight road as one corner (S10, S11) when the behavior of the vehicle is not predicted to be stable while traveling on the section regarded as a straight road (N in S5) based on the travel history.

SOLUTION: The charging control system includes an engine; a storage device capable of being charged by electric power generated by motive power of the engine; and an electric motor for consuming the electric power from the storage device to output the motive power, and is provided on a vehicle capable of performing predetermined traveling that the engine is stopped and traveling is performed by the motive power outputted by the electric motor. When it is presumed that an amount of electric power capable of being outputted by the storage device at the predetermined travellable section is lacked relative to an amount of electric power required for the storage device during when traveling is performed at the predetermined travelable section at the predetermined traveling (S4-N) relative to the predetermined travelable section, i.e., a section where it is presumed that the predetermined traveling on a traveling road at a front side can be performed (S2-Y), the charging control system increases a target value of a charging amount of the storage device until it reaches to the predetermined travelable section such that the outputtable amount of the electric power can satisfy the required amount of the electric power, and charges the storage device by the electric power generated by the motive power of the engine so as to attain the target value (S5).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular drive control apparatus that properly starts an internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is started after deceleration. SOLUTION: The vehicular drive control apparatus is applied to a vehicle including an internal combustion engine and a regeneration control means for performing regenerative braking during deceleration. The vehicular drive control apparatus starts the internal combustion engine during deceleration in the following cases: (1) the internal combustion engine is suspended; (2) surplus energy is generated due to regenerative braking during deceleration; and (3) the internal combustion engine is expected to start after the deceleration. There is no need to extract energy from a battery to start the internal combustion engine, thereby improving fuel economy. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control device capable of presenting information for a driver to understand what vehicle operation facilitates an execution of a prescribed travel control.SOLUTION: A display part 76 displays in a display device 64 information indicating that it is predicted that an inertia travel control (a prescribed travel control) will be executed on the basis of a current vehicle state from history information DThis in which travel data is accumulated in association with each travel route within a specific range based on the current position of the vehicle 6. Therefore, when the driver changes the current vehicle state, a travel route where it is predicted that an inertia travel control will be executed is changed and displayed, an electronic control device 60 can present the driver information which enables the driver to understand what vehicle operation facilitates an execution of the inertia travel control. This allows the driver to drive the vehicle 6, for example, consciously taking advantage of a merit of improvement of fuel consumption by the inertia travel control.
