Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a target drive force calculation unit, an arithmetic unit, a stop holding unit, a power-running-generative drive force calculation unit, and a traveling mode selection unit. The arithmetic unit calculates required drive force and required brake force based on target drive force calculated by the target drive force calculation unit. The arithmetic unit calculates the required drive force by setting the required brake force to stop hold brake force or greater if an engine traveling mode is selected at an immediately preceding timing by the traveling mode selection unit. The arithmetic unit calculates the required brake force by setting the required drive force to less than or equal to power-running-generative drive force calculated by the power-running-generative drive force calculation unit if an electric vehicle traveling mode is selected at the immediately preceding timing by the traveling mode selection unit.

Abstract: A power transmission mechanism including a planetary mechanism, an electronically controlled clutch, and a motor generator. The planetary mechanism is coupled to an input shaft and first and second output shafts. The planetary mechanism includes a differential element rotating the first and second output shafts at different rotation speeds. The planetary mechanism outputs a torque input to the first and second output shafts. The electronically controlled clutch includes first and second clutch plates. The first clutch plate is coupled to a member different from the differential element. The second clutch plate is coupled to the differential element. The electronically controlled clutch allows the differential element to rotate the first and second output shafts at the different rotation speeds when the first and second clutch plates are released. The electronically controlled clutch restricts a rotation speed difference in response to engaging between the first and second clutch plates.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus controls a vehicle-control force of a vehicle that is switchable between traveling under normal traveling control and traveling under cruise control. The apparatus includes a first target-vehicle-control-force determination unit, a second target-vehicle-control-force determination unit, and a vehicle-control-force controlling unit. The first target-vehicle-control-force determination unit determines a target vehicle-control force of the normal traveling control on the basis of an accelerator position, and switches a control mode of the normal traveling control between a normal mode and a one-pedal mode. The second target-vehicle-control-force determination unit determines a target vehicle-control force of the cruise control, and execute override when the accelerator position is greater than a reference accelerator position in the cruise control.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a target driving force calculator that calculates a target driving force of a vehicle, an arithmetic operator that calculates a request driving force and a request braking force, and a stop keeping processor that keeps the vehicle in a stopped state by increasing a brake fluid pressure so that a braking force becomes equal to or larger than a stop keeping braking force. The arithmetic operator executes a pressure pre-increasing process for pre-increasing the brake fluid pressure before a stop timing and setting, as the request driving force, a cancellation driving force for canceling a braking force for pressure pre-increase, and controls, in the pressure pre-increasing process, the request braking force so that the braking force for the pressure pre-increase is increased within a range in which the braking force does not exceed a braking force threshold smaller than the stop keeping braking force.

Abstract: A vehicle control system is provided with a motor generator and has a function of, if a vehicle-stop brake fluid pressure at a vehicle stop timing is less a predetermined pressure necessary for holding a vehicle in a stopped state, boosting the vehicle-stop brake fluid pressure to the stop holding fluid pressure or greater to hold the vehicle in the stopped state. The system includes a first calculator, a second calculator, and a vehicle stop controller. The first calculator calculates a target driving force for the vehicle. The second calculator calculates, from the target driving force, a requested driving force for drive control of the motor generator and a requested brake fluid pressure to be used for brake control. The vehicle stop controller performs, at a timing immediately before the vehicle stop timing, a pre-boosting process of increasing the brake fluid pressure to the stop holding fluid pressure or greater.
