PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of rattling noise of the gears of a motor generator. SOLUTION: The motor generator is formed to be meshed with and rotatably in synchronism with the gears of an MMT through an MG clutch. When a torque is requested for the motor generator (YES in step S10), the MG clutch is engaged (step S11) to perform the torque control of the motor generator (step S12). When the torque is not requested (NO in step S10) and a specified vibration (angular acceleration) is detected in the motor generator (NO in step S13), the MG clutch is disengaged (step S14) to rotate the motor generator in synchronism with the MMT (step S15). When the specified vibration is not detected (NO in step S13), the engagement of the MG clutch is kept unchanged (step S16). COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suitably execute mode switching of a control mode capable of executing low speed inter-vehicle distance control and a control mode capable of executing high speed inter-vehicle distance control while taking precedence over intention of a driver of the vehicle in an inter-vehicle distance control device. SOLUTION: A mode switching switch for selectively switching the control mode for controlling the inter-vehicle distance with the preceding vehicle to a low speed responding mode capable of executing low speed following control corresponding to a low vehicle speed area and ACC mode capable of executing ACC control corresponding to a high vehicle speed area and exclusively designating it is provided. When the mode switching switch is ON-operated during execution of the low speed following control, the execution of the low speed following control is canceled and the control mode is switched to the low speed following mode to the ACC mode. Whereas, when the mode switching switch is ON-operated during execution of the ACC control, execution of the ACC control is continued and the control mode is not switched from the ACC mode to the low speed following mode.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for a vehicle, in which evasive travel performance of a vehicle is improved at the time of actuation abnormality of an engine having a solenoid drive valve. SOLUTION: At the time of action abnormality of an intake valve 74 or an exhaust valve 75 as the solenoid drive valve, a fail time control means 112 (SA3-SA8) operates to select either one of a plurality of abnormality time control to execute abnormality time control for the engine 10, while the vehicle is driving-controlled in accordance with the executed abnormality time control. Evasive travel performance of the vehicle is thus improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the response of a preceding vehicle follow-up control which meets the intention, the preference and the driving feeling of a driver. SOLUTION: The shorter a target following distance which is set by the driver is, and the larger a changing amount of the target following distance by the driver is, and also, the shorter a changing time interval for the target following distance by the driver is, the response in the preceding vehicle follow-up control is made quicker.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change a coast shifting line to obtain a requested re-acceleration performance without causing deceleration with a sense of incongruity and deterioration of fuel economy when coasting. SOLUTION: The coast shifting line is changed from α toward β so that a target input engine speed tNpri becomes higher as degree of importance of power performance is higher, and requested re-acceleration performance can be thereby obtained in the case of operation when regarding power performance as important. As higher as the degree of importance of power performance, coast lock-up releasing car speed VSPo when opening of an accelerator is zero is changed to a high car speed side in order of VSPo1, VSPo2, VSPo3, VSPo4 and VSPo5. Since VSPo is changed in response to deceleration to be changed with a change of the coast shifting line to secure the requested power performance, troubles such as deterioration of operability due to excessive low VSPo when rising the coast shifting line and deterioration of fuel economy due to excessive high VSPo when lowering the coast shifting line can be eliminated.
