Abstract: When an abnormality associated with power transmission in a power transmission path which is formed such that power of an engine or the like is able to be transmitted to driving wheels has occurred and a vehicle speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined vehicle speed, a limp-home travel control unit switches a limp-home travel mode to a first limp-home travel mode in which the power of the engine or the like is able to be transmitted to the driving wheels through the power transmission path. When an abnormality associated with power transmission in the power transmission path has occurred and the vehicle speed is lower than the predetermined vehicle speed, the limp-home travel control unit switches the limp-home travel mode to a second limp-home travel mode in which limp-home travel is performed using power of a second electric motor.

Abstract: The braking force control device detects an impossible state where one or some of the actuators are temporarily unable to generate a negative driving force, and a predictive state where one or some of the actuators are predicted to become unable to generate a negative driving force. Every time the coasting state occurs before establishment of the impossible state and after establishment of the predictive state, the braking force control device gradually increases the negative driving force generated by the corresponding one or ones of the actuators. Even when the coasting state occurs in the impossible state, the braking force control device does not cause the corresponding one or ones of the actuators to generate a driving force. Every time the coasting state occurs after the impossible state, the braking force control device gradually decreases the negative driving force generated by the corresponding one or ones of the actuators.

Abstract: A braking force control apparatus includes: a prediction unit that predicts a time from a present time until a next start of the gear shift operation in the stepped automatic transmission based on a speed of the vehicle; an acquisition unit that acquires a state of a battery charged by a regenerative power generation of the regenerative generator; and a control unit that stops the regenerative power generation by the regenerative generator before the gear shift of the stepped automatic transmission is started, when it is determined, during the regenerative power generation by the regenerative generator, that the regenerative power generation by the regenerative power generator may be stopped due to the state of the battery during the gear shift operation of the stepped automatic transmission, based on a prediction result by the prediction unit and the state of the battery acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract: A vehicle drive device including an engagement pressure flow channel, a lubrication flow channel, a first pump having a discharge port connected to the engagement pressure flow channel, a second pump, and a flow channel control valve. The flow channel control valve selectively switches flow channels between a first state in which an outflow destination of oil discharged from the second pump is the engagement pressure flow channel and a second state in which the outflow destination is the lubrication flow channel. When a failure in which the flow channel control valve is fixed in the second state has occurred, a control device for a vehicle control device performs fail-safe control in which a rotational speed of at least one of an internal combustion engine and a rotating electrical machine is increased to supply oil to the engagement pressure flow channel by the first pump.

Abstract: When such a failure as the output from a voltage sensor becomes unavailable is detected, a controller controls a connecting section to disconnected state and controls a voltage converter to voltage unconverted state so that the voltage of a positive pole bus is outputted to the terminal of the voltage converter on the connecting section side, and performs voltage control of the positive pole bus based on the output from a voltage sensor in place of the output from the voltage sensor. Consequently, a power supply unit for a vehicle which can perform escape running while maintaining the traveling performance as much as possible even upon occurrence of failure in the sensor is provided.
