Abstract: The ECU executes TRC for controlling the posture of the vehicle and automatic parking control for parking the vehicle at a target parking position without being based on the vehicle operation of the user. The ECU calculates a user accelerator opening based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal and a control accelerator opening calculated in reverse from the required driving force of the vehicle.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus of a vehicle includes: auxiliary machines electrically connected between a battery and a converter; and a control device controlling inverters and the like based on a required vehicle power including a required charge discharge amount of the battery. The control device has a continuous voltage step-up mode and an intermittent voltage step-up mode. In the continuous voltage step-up mode, the control device calculates the required charge discharge amount based on electric power supplied from the battery. In the intermittent voltage step-up mode, the control device changes a method of calculating the required charge discharge amount to a method that calculates the required charge discharge amount based on electric power passing through the converter, and makes the required charge discharge amount smaller than the required charge discharge amount in the continuous voltage step-up mode.

Abstract: Provided are a power supply device for a vehicle provided with a battery, a converter, and a controller, and a method for controlling the same. The controller controls the converter in a continuous boost mode in which the converter is continuously operated and an intermittent boost mode in which the converter is intermittently operated. The controller does not control the converter in the intermittent boost mode when a control that adjusts a reference point of a resolver of a motor generator is underway.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus of a vehicle includes: an engine and a first MG; a battery; a converter stepping up a voltage of the battery and supplying the stepped-up voltage to an inverter of the vehicle; and a control device controlling the converter in a continuous voltage step-up mode in which the converter is continuously operated and an intermittent voltage step-up mode in which the converter is intermittently operated. The control device estimates an SOC of the battery based on battery current IB flowing into and out of the battery, and forces the battery to be charged by the engine and the first MG when an estimate value of the SOC is lower than a predetermined lower limit. The control device suppresses an operation of the converter in the intermittent voltage step-up mode to a greater extent as the estimate value of the SOC is closer to the lower limit.

Abstract: A control device controls a boost converter to be operated in one of a continuous voltage-boosting mode in which the converter is continuously operated and in an intermittent voltage-boosting mode in which the converter is intermittently operated. The control device permits the converter to be controlled in the intermittent voltage-boosting mode when an atmospheric pressure is equal to or greater than a first prescribed value, and inhibits the converter from being controlled in the intermittent voltage-boosting mode when the atmospheric pressure is less than the first prescribed value.

Abstract: An electric power supply device for a vehicle includes an electric storage device, a boost converter, and a controller. The boost converter boosts voltage of the electric storage device and supplies the boosted voltage to an electric load of the vehicle. The controller controls the boost converter in a continuous boost mode and an intermittent boost mode. The continuous boost mode is a mode in which the boost converter is in continuous operation. The intermittent boost mode is a mode in which the boost converter is in intermittent operation. The controller more restricts a charge/discharge demand of the electric storage device such that a charge/discharge demand of the electric storage device at a time when the boost converter is operated in the intermittent boost mode is more restrictive than a charge/discharge demand of the electric storage device at a time when the boost converter is operated in the continuous boost mode.
