Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus selects one of a power-on control and a power-off control for execution of a shift-down action in a transmission of a vehicle, and implements the selected power-on or power-off control. When a running speed of the vehicle is not lower than a predetermined value, the control apparatus selects one of the power-on control and the power-off control, based on a target input torque that is to be inputted to the transmission. When the vehicle running speed is lower than the predetermined value, the control apparatus selects one of the power-on control and the power-off control, based on an actual input torque that is actually inputted to the transmission.

Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide an in-vehicle device, an arrival notification system and an arrival notification method which can enable an arrival of the vehicle to be easily recognized by a user. The objective is achieved by causing a notification device with a communication function to generate a notification sound when the vehicle arrives at a delivery target, which can enable an arrival of the vehicle to be easily recognized by the user. I.e., this can cause the notification device to generate the notification sound more easily and it can be recognized by users more easily than an arrival notification method by merely sending an electronic mail.
