Abstract: A hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine and a motor as a driving source, a transmission that changes a speed of rotation of the internal combustion engine or motor and transmits the rotation to driving wheels of the vehicle, a high-voltage battery that supplies power to the motor through an inverter, a cooling mechanism equipped with a pump to circulate a coolant and thereby cool the inverter, a coolant temperature measurement device that detects or estimates a temperature of the coolant, a low-voltage battery that supplies power to the pump, and a converter through which power is supplied from the high-voltage battery to the pump.

Abstract: A vehicle drive control system including a motor brake control device. The motor brake control device causes an AC motor to generate a braking force, and selectively executes a first three-phase (3-phase) short-circuiting mode for simultaneously turning on switching elements of an upper arm of an inverter and a second 3-phase short-circuiting mode for simultaneously turning on switching elements of a lower arm of the inverter. The first 3-phase short-circuiting mode and the second 3-phase short-circuiting mode are selectively executed.
