A control system includes a sensor configured to detect information associated with an area surrounding a vehicle and an electronic control unit configured to control an automated driving of the vehicle. The electronic control unit includes a driving plan generation unit, a driving control unit, a regeneration control unit configured to control a process for regenerating an engine exhaust gas treatment apparatus, and a lane selection unit configured to predict an engine load associated with traveling in each lane of a plurality of lanes. The lane selection unit is also configured to select a lane which would cause an increase in engine load when the control for regenerating the exhaust gas treatment apparatus is being performed by the regeneration control unit. The control system is configured to cause the vehicle to be driven in the lane selected by the lane selection unit.

An oxygen sensor diagnosis control system of a hybrid electric vehicle is provided. The system of a hybrid electric vehicle eliminates an uncertainty of the number of diagnoses of an oxygen sensor and restrains diagnoses of the oxygen sensor in a hybrid electric vehicle. The system of a hybrid electric vehicle includes a hybrid controller operates a vehicle, and determines conversion of an oxygen sensor diagnosis mode based on a result obtained by calculating an oxygen sensor diagnosis index. Additionally, the controller determines whether a condition for diagnosing an oxygen sensor is satisfied when the oxygen sensor diagnosis index decreases to initiate a diagnosis inducing mode or a compulsory diagnosis mode.

A controller for an internal combustion engine, a control method for an internal combustion engine, and a memory medium are provided. The controller executes a deactivation process that deactivates combustion control in a specified one of cylinders. A compensation process operates a power generation device that produces driving torque applied to a driven wheel so as to compensate for insufficiency of the driving torque of a vehicle caused by the deactivation process. A prohibition process prohibits the deactivation process when it is determined that compensation by a predetermined amount or larger by the compensation process cannot be performed.

A vehicle includes a detection section and a automated drive controller. The detection section detects actual behavior of the vehicle. The automated drive controller generates a automated drive action plan for the vehicle, issues an instruction relating to behavior of the vehicle based on the generated action plan to a drive source controller that controls a drive source of the vehicle, and compares predicted behavior of the vehicle predicted based on the issued instruction and actual behavior of the vehicle detected by the detection section. In cases where the predicted behavior of the vehicle and the actual behavior of the vehicle detected by the detection section differ from each other by more than a preset range, the automated drive controller issues an instruction to decelerate the vehicle to a brake device of the vehicle.

An engine has a variable valve actuation device for controlling an actuation characteristic of an intake valve that is an amount of lifting the intake valve and/or a working angle on the intake valve. When the intake valve, having the actuation characteristic (or lifted in an amount and/or worked by a working angle), as controlled by the variable valve actuation device, has the actuation characteristic fixed (YES in S120), a range applied to set therewithin an output that the engine is required to provide is limited to be narrower and a power storage device's controlled target SOC is raised to be higher (S150, S160, S170) than when said actuation characteristic is not fixed (NO in S120).

A vehicle control device disengages a clutch provided between an engine and a driving wheel at a brake-off and an accelerator-off during traveling of the vehicle, and stops the engine and carries out inertia traveling. The vehicle control device starts the engine by the push-start by engaging the clutch and by transmitting the power of the driving wheel to the engine, if it is determined that a brake pedal has been depressed during the inertia traveling.

A classification determining unit determines classification of a stationary object that is detected by a stationary object detecting unit. In a case where it is determined that the stationary object is another vehicle, a judgment condition easing unit enlarges a margin area that is used when determining the need for collision avoidance support. When the margin area is enlarged, the probability for a user's own vehicle to interfere with the margin area increases. Stated otherwise, it becomes easier for a collision avoidance determining unit to determine that the collision avoidance support is needed.

After determination of from which side, right or left, a second vehicle is approaching, a position of a collision point is determined, a position of a stop point is set from the determined collision point, and a warning is given at a position and timing of a warning point which is set to allow a first vehicle to stop before the set stop point.

A control apparatus for a hybrid construction machine which can continue filter regeneration without impairing the operability as far as possible irrespective of a condition of a machine body or a power storage device is provided. The control apparatus for a hybrid construction machine includes an engine, a motor generator driven by the engine and capable of generating electric power, a hydraulic pump driven by total torque of the engine and the motor generator, a power storage device, an inverter, a filter that collects a particulate material in exhaust gas of the engine, and a control section that outputs a command signal for controlling powering operation or regeneration operation of the motor generator. The control apparatus further includes a powering operation limitation section that inputs thereto an ordinary torque command for the motor generator calculated by a torque command value calculation section and a demand signal for regeneration of the filter decided by a filter regeneration decision section and calculates the command signal in response to the input signals. The powering operation limitation section calculates, when the demand signal for regeneration of the filter is available, a command signal for limiting the powering operation of the motor generator.

It is provided a control device for a hybrid vehicle including a controller configured to control an engine, a first motor, and an automatic transmission and a control method of the hybrid vehicle. The controller is configured to determine whether or not an operation state of the engine is changeable, when an upshift of the hybrid vehicle is performed, decrease torque of an input shaft of the automatic transmission by outputting negative torque acting to decrease the torque of the input shaft of the automatic transmission from the first motor when a prohibition condition that the operation state of the engine is not changeable is established, and decrease engine torque output from the engine to decrease the torque of the input shaft of the automatic transmission to be decreased accompanied by the upshift when the prohibition condition is not established and the operation state of the engine is changeable.
