Abstract: An apparatus and a method to stably run an electrically operated vehicle is disclosed. The invention has an electric generator target torque calculation processor, a first determination processor for calculating an inertia correction determining value, a second determination processor for calculating an integral term correction determining value, a determining mode switching condition judgment processor, and a drive motor target torque calculation processor. When a determining mode switching condition exists, the drive motor target torque calculation processor switches between a first determining mode for calculating drive motor target torque, and a second determining mode for calculating the drive motor target torque. When the determining mode switching condition exists, the first determining mode and the second determining mode are switched so that the drive motor target torque is calculated on the basis of the integral term correction determining value.

Abstract: Large vibrations can be prevented from being generated during engine rotation. A control apparatus for driving a vehicle has an engine stop permission output control processing module which: reads engine rotational speed; determines whether the engine rotational speed takes a value within a predetermined stop disable range; does not output an engine stop permission when the engine rotational speed takes a value within the stop disable range; and outputs an engine stop permission when the engine rotational speed takes a value except the value within the stop disable range, and an engine stop control processing module which stops an engine when the engine stop permission is outputted. In this case, when the engine rotational speed takes the value except the value within the stop disable range, the engine stop permission is outputted to stop the engine.

Abstract: A drive-control-system of electromotive vehicle and drive-control-method of an electromotive vehicle. A system has a condition-determination-process unit that reads a vibration index as a factor causing vibration in the vehicle-drive-system, and determines whether a damping-control-starting-condition is established based on the vibration index, and a damping-control-process unit that performs a damping control process such that a variable of vibration generation is reduced when the damping-control-starting-condition is established.

Abstract: The invention includes a target-engine-speed acquisition element that acquires a target engine speed necessary to reduce engine speed, thereby stopping the engine at a target stop position; a crank-angle acquisition element that acquires a crank angle indicative of the position of a crankshaft; and a target-engine-speed correction element that corrects the target engine speed according to the acquired crank angle. Because the target engine speed is corrected according to the crank angle, the engine can be stopped at the target stop position even if the friction in the engine, the electric motor, etc. varies, the temperature or viscosity of the lubricating and cooling oils varies, or the vehicle is accelerated or decelerated during the reduction of the engine speed.
