  • Patent number: 11801868
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle, a control method therefor, and a storage medium which are capable of suppressing changes in an engine sound and vibration even when acceleration is performed at the time of increasing a required driving force are provided. In a hybrid vehicle capable of performing automated driving control for automatically controlling at least acceleration and deceleration of a vehicle, a rotational speed of the engine is gradually increased by a predetermined increase step while maintaining or decelerating a vehicle speed of the hybrid vehicle until an increase timing of a required driving force in a case where it is predicted that the required driving force is required to be increased while the automated driving control is performed, and at least the power generated by the generator is supplied to the motor at the increase timing of the required driving force.

  • Patent number: 11613242
    Abstract: Provided are a control device and a control method for a vehicle, and storage medium which are capable of reducing vibration, noise, and speed change shock caused by a downshift when an increase in a required driving force is predicted during automated drive. In a control device (100) for a vehicle which is equipped with an automatic transmission (TM) and capable of automated driving control, when an increase in a required driving force is predicted during the execution of the automated driving control, a vehicle speed of the vehicle is maintained or decelerated until an increase timing of the required driving force, an engine rotation number is increased within a standby period until the increase timing of the required driving force, a torque of the engine is decreased in response to the increase in the engine rotation number, and a shift gear level of the automatic transmission is shifted downward.

  • Patent number: 9890856
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressure supply apparatus, capable of quickly supplying hydraulic pressure to a power transmission apparatus and extending the service life of an accumulator for supplying hydraulic pressure to the power transmission apparatus, includes an oil pump which uses an internal combustion engine as a motive power source and is connected to the power transmission apparatus via an oil passage, for supplying operating hydraulic pressure to the power transmission apparatus, an accumulator connected to the oil passage and capable of accumulating hydraulic pressure, and a switching valve capable of effecting communication between the accumulator and the oil passage by opening during operation of the engine and cutting off the communication therebetween by closing during automatic stop of the engine. When it is determined that the engine is under manual stop caused by turn-off of an ignition switch of a vehicle, manual stop-time control for opening the switching valve is performed.
