Abstract: The apparatus is configured to compare the calculated value (NDRCMDZ) of the desired input shaft rotational speed with the desired input shaft rotational speed upper limit (#NDRCMDMX) set in relation to an energy supply cut-off rotational speed (NEFC), determine the desired input shaft rotational speed upper limit (#NDRCMDMX) as the desired input shaft rotational speed (NDRCMD) when it is determined that the calculated value (NDRCMDZ) does exceed the desired input shaft rotational speed upper limit, and determine the calculated value (NDRCMDZ) as the desired input shaft rotational speed (NDRCMD) when it is determined that the calculated value does not exceed the desired input shaft rotational speed upper limit (#NDRCMDMX).

Abstract: In a driving device of a vehicle provided with driving sources, an input shaft rotatable due to driving force of the driving sources, a continuously variable transmission mechanism that shifts the rotation of the input shaft to be transmitted to an output shaft, and a start clutch for switching presence/absence of driving force transmission from the output shaft to a downstream side; when a ratio of the continuously variable transmission is on a lower ratio side than a predetermined threshold value, the output torque control means for controlling the output torque of the driving sources perform control to restrict the upper limit of output torque of the driving sources to a value smaller than the upper limit when a ratio is on the higher ratio side than the threshold value.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus is configured to set a desired speed of an engine to be inputted to a CVT based on a vehicle speed and an accelerator opening AP, calculate a desired output of the engine based on the accelerator opening; calculate a correction coefficient based on the vehicle speed, and calculate a corrected desired output by correcting the desired output with the correction coefficient such that the vehicle speed reaches a regulatory vehicle speed when the accelerator opening AP reaches a fully-opened position, i.e., to vary the characteristics of the accelerator opening in accordance with the vehicle speed in the vicinity of the regulatory vehicle speed.

Abstract: A starting-clutch control apparatus is configured to control connection between a driving side and a driven side of a vehicle using a starting clutch disposed therebetween. A driving-shaft rotation speed detector is configured to detect a rotation speed of a driving shaft of the starting clutch. A driven-shaft rotation speed detector is configured to detect a rotation speed of a driven shaft of the starting clutch. A cumulative work amount calculator is configured to calculate a cumulative work amount of the starting clutch based on pressure applied to the starting clutch, the rotation speed of the driving shaft, and the rotation speed of the driven shaft. A torque output restricting device is configured to restrict an output torque of a driving source of the vehicle when the starting clutch is in a transient engagement state and the cumulative work amount exceeds a first specific value.
