  • Vehicle drive control apparatus, and vehicle drive control method
    Patent number: 9308807
    Abstract: A total driving force according to an acceleration request of a driver is secured, and deterioration of acceleration performance, such as slowness at the time of starting, is suppressed. When an engine torque is converted into motor torque through a generator, a power distribution ratio ? from the engine torque to the motor torque is set. Additionally, as a road surface gradient ? is smaller on an upward slope side, the power distribution ratio ? is limited. Specifically, when the road surface gradient ? is more than or equal to a predetermined ?1 on the upward slope side, the power distribution ratio ? is set to a predetermined maximum value ?MAX. When the road surface gradient ? is less than or equal to ?2, which is smaller than ?1, on the upward slope side, the power distribution ratio ? is set to a minimum value ?MIN.
