Patent number: 10137880Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuki Ogawa, Haruki Oguri, Kosuke Yoshida
