    摘要: An HV-ECU specifies a control target section satisfying a predetermined condition in a scheduled traveling route and performs SOC control of changing an SOC of a power storage device in advance before entering the control target section. An HMI device displays that the SOC control is being performed. The HV-ECU controls the HMI device such that that the SOC control is being performed is not displayed until a distance to a start point of the control target section is less than a predetermined distance after the SOC control is started and that the SOC control is being performed is displayed when the distance is less than the predetermined distance.

    摘要: A moving assist apparatus assists a vehicle which includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor as a driving source to move from a current position to a destination. The moving assist apparatus includes a planning unit configured to, for each section obtained by dividing a traveling route from the current position to the destination, plan one traveling mode from a mode of not maintaining a charge storage amount of a battery and a HV mode of maintaining the charge storage amount of the battery, based on a traveling load associated with the section. The planning unit is configured to replan the traveling mode under a predetermined condition, and when the predetermined condition is satisfied, when a remaining distance of the section on which the vehicle is traveling is less than a threshold a, to replan a current ‘traveling mode to be the traveling mode in priority.

    摘要: A hybrid vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a motor generator; an electric storage device electrically connected with the motor generator; and a control device configured to set a control mode of an electric storage level of the electric storage device, to one of a charge depleting mode and a charge sustaining mode. The control device is configured to expand a permissible fluctuation band of the electric storage level during the charge sustaining mode, when the control device is performing a first switching control, compared to when the control device is not performing the first switching control, the first switching control being a control in which the control device automatically performs switching between the charge depleting mode and the charge sustaining mode, at least partly based on a predicted load on a planned traveling route for the hybrid vehicle.

    摘要: A hybrid vehicle includes: an engine, a first motor generator configured to generate electric power using power of the engine; a second MG connected to driving wheels; a power storage device electrically connected to the first MG and the second MG; and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to execute pre-change control of changing an amount of power stored in the power storage device in advance before the hybrid vehicle enters a control target section on a scheduled traveling route and EV priority control of suppressing activation of the engine more when the hybrid vehicle travels in a specific area than when the hybrid vehicle travels in an area other than the specific area. The electronic control unit is configured to prohibit execution of the EV priority control during execution of the pre-change control.

    摘要: A hybrid vehicle includes a controller. First control is control of an engine and a motor such that the hybrid vehicle travels by switching between a charge depleting mode and a charge sustaining mode. Second control is control of the engine and the motor such that the hybrid vehicle travels in accordance with a travel plan in which the charge depleting mode or the charge sustaining mode is assigned to each travel section of a travel plan route to a destination. The controller controls the engine and the motor such that a state of charge of an electric power storage device becomes higher in the charge sustaining mode in the second control than in the charge sustaining mode in the first control.

    摘要: A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle determines a scheduled travel route. The control apparatus further determines a downhill section included in the scheduled travel route by using gradient information acquired for a road section at a time when the vehicle has traveled on the road section and using gradient information stored in a navigation database for a road section on which the vehicle travels for a first time. The control apparatus determines a section from a downhill control start point to an end point of the target downhill section as a downhill control section. The downhill control start point is a point located a predetermined first distance closer to the vehicle from a start point of the target downhill section. When the vehicle travels on the downhill control section, the control apparatus executes downhill control.

    摘要: A travel support device includes a planner, an information generator, and a traffic information obtaining unit. To each of a plurality of sections into which a travel route from the current location to the destination is divided, the planner is adapted to assign, based on a road load associated with each section, a travel mode among a first mode, in which a remaining energy charge of the battery of the vehicle is not maintained, and a second mode, in which the remaining energy charge of the battery is maintained. When traffic congestion information is acquired by the traffic information obtaining unit, the information generator is adapted to set a traffic congestion road load, which is a fixed road load, for a section in which the traffic congestion is occurring.

    摘要: A travel support device includes a mode planner that plans a travel mode that is to be one of an EV mode and an HV mode that uses at least an internal combustion engine as a drive source, for each of a plurality of sections, and an execution determiner that determines to execute a travel mode planning with the mode planner on condition that the total amount of consumption energy required for traveling the travel route is larger than an energy equivalent value that is obtained by adding a first allowance value to a remaining charge of the battery. In executing a planning based on the determination by the execution determiner, the mode planner executes the travel mode planning while assuming that energy from which energy corresponding to a second allowance value, which is smaller than the first allowance value is excluded is energy required for travelling the travel route.
