Abstract: A control device includes a model generation unit that generates a control model that formulates a task to be executed, and a task processing unit that causes the vehicle to execute the task by performing model prediction control using the control model. Assuming that a first state space is a state space of the control model used at an execution time of the first task, and a second state space is a state space of the control model used at an execution time of the second task, the task processing unit starts to cause the vehicle to execute the second task, after executing a transition process that is a process of making a value of a state variable that is commonly included in both the first state space and the second state space within a predetermined range that is allowed at the execution time of the second task.

Abstract: A control device for a vehicle drive unit is configured to control, based on an operating state of a vehicle, a vehicle drive unit having one or more power sources. The control device includes a processor and a storage device. The storage device is configured to store a vehicle front-rear acceleration prediction model being a machine learning model that receives as an input a command torque and outputs predicted acceleration. The processor is configured to: execute a predicted acceleration calculation process using the vehicle front-rear acceleration prediction model; and execute a command torque calculation process to calculate the command torque that minimizes an evaluation function. The evaluation function minimizes a deviation of the predicted acceleration with respect to a target vehicle front-rear acceleration according to a target torque based on the operating state while reducing a deviation of the command torque with respect to the target torque.

Abstract: Provided is a flow rate ratio control device that even in change periods during which the actual flow rates of component gases change along with a change in the target total flow rate or target mixing ratio of mixed gas, can keep the actual total flow rate or actual mixing ratio of the mixed gas constant. Target flow rates set in flow rate control devices have continuous change periods during which target flow rate values continuously change from pre-change to post-change target flow rate values, respectively and correspondingly; and the time lengths of the continuous change periods are set to at least a followable time during which a flow rate control device of which a response speed to an actual component fluid flow rate is lowest allows the actual component fluid flow rate to substantially follow the target flow rate in the continuous change periods.
