Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a linear solenoid by controlling a driving current supplied to the linear solenoid through a feedback control. The feedback control is executed by a feedback control system having parameters that are determined in accordance with an ILQ design method. In a frequency characteristic of a gain of a transfer function representing a ratio of an output to a disturbance in the feedback control system, the gain is lower than 0[dB] throughout all frequency ranges.

Abstract: A driving control device that is mounted on a vehicle including an electric motor and an internal combustion engine as power sources includes a processor. The processor is configured to: acquire a destination of the vehicle; acquire a past driving history from a point of departure to the destination; acquire a desired state of charge that is a state of charge of a battery desired when the vehicle arrives at the destination; estimate a predicted amount of regenerative energy based on the driving history; set a first section and a second section based on the predicted amount of regenerative energy and the desired state of charge; and control driving of the vehicle based on the first section and the second section.

Abstract: A travel control device is mounted on a vehicle including an electric motor and an internal combustion engine that are power sources and a storage battery that stores energy for driving the electric motor and regenerative energy recovered by regenerative braking of the electric motor. The travel control device includes an electronic control device configured to create a speed profile in which a speed of the vehicle is predicted, estimate a predicted amount of the regenerative energy to be recovered, based on the speed profile, and decide the power source to be used for traveling, based on the predicted amount of the regenerative energy and thermal information indicating a demand related to heat of the vehicle.

Abstract: A controller executes a dither control that cyclically increases and decreases an exciting current in a linear solenoid valve so as to vibrate a spool of the linear solenoid valve. A vibration cycle of the spool obtained through the dither control is referred to a dither cycle. The dither control includes a first dither control that vibrates the spool in a first dither cycle and a second dither control that vibrates the spool in a second dither cycle that is shorter than the first dither cycle. The controller executes the first dither control and the second dither control when an oil temperature of the hydraulic oil is between a first oil temperature and a second oil temperature that is higher than the first oil temperature.

Abstract: A driving control device mounted on a vehicle includes a processor. The processor is configured to create a speed profile. The processor is configured to approximate the speed profile by a predetermined approximate model and estimate a predicted amount of regenerative energy based on an approximation result. The processor is configured to set, based on the predicted amount of regenerative energy, a first region and a second region in the approximation result as a region in which the vehicle travels using an electric motor, the first region being a region from a timing of starting of the vehicle until first time has elapsed from the timing of starting of the vehicle, and the second region being a region from a timing of deceleration of the vehicle until second time has elapsed from the timing of deceleration of the vehicle.

Abstract: A control device of a vehicle with a stepped automatic transmission has: a gradient acquiring part; a driving force calculating part; a future change estimating part; and a shift control part. The shift control part prohibits change of the gear stage when the speed of change of the speed or acceleration of the vehicle in the future if the maximum driving force applied, is within a reference range of speed of change where the occupants would not notice a change in speed or acceleration, and permits change of the gear stage when the speed of change of the speed or acceleration of the vehicle in the future if the maximum driving force applied, is outside the reference range of speed of change.
