A vehicle integrated control device improves ride comfort and prevents the onset of motion sickness. The vehicle integrated control device acquires a target momentum of a control axis related to a driving task of the vehicle and generates a first motion parameter and a second motion parameter different from the first motion parameter that is based on the first motion parameter to optimize a sensitivity index. A limit generation unit generates a motion limit amount of the second motion parameter based on the first motion parameter and an operation range of an actuator, a final target generation unit that corrects the second motion parameter based on the motion limit amount, and an operation amount assignment unit that determines an operation amount of an actuator based on the first motion parameter and the second motion parameter corrected by the final target generation unit.

A vehicle control device includes an engine stop/start determination unit and an engine controller and a re-acceleration scene predicting unit. The engine stop/start determination unit determines stopping and starting of the engine based on a magnitude of the accelerator position opening amount unit. The engine controller carries out the stopping/starting of the engine in accordance with the determination of the engine stop/start determination unit. The re-acceleration scene predicting unit predicts a re-acceleration scene in which an accelerator is depressed after the accelerator has been released based on the accelerator position opening amount. When the re-acceleration scene predicting unit predicts a re-acceleration scene of the engine, the engine stop/start determination unit prohibits the stopping of the engine while the engine is running, and the starting of the engine is carried out by the accelerator being depressed while the engine is stopped.

A MGECU in a control device mounted on a vehicle has a feedback control section, a correction torque calculation section, an instruction torque calculation section. The feedback control section calculates a torque to be used for performing a feedback control of an actual rotation speed to follow a target rotation speed. The correction torque calculation section calculates a correction torque based on a change rate of the target rotation speed and inertia of a rotary body which includes the motor generator. When the target rotation speed is changed to decrease a difference between the target rotation speed and the actual rotation speed, the correction torque calculation section reduces the correction torque. The instruction torque calculation section adds the torque calculated by the feedback control section and the correction torque calculated by the correction torque calculation section in order to obtain the instruction torque to be used for the motor generator.

A backup assist system for a vehicle reversing a trailer includes a brake module and a throttle module. The system further includes a controller having a vehicle speed detector and coupled with the brake module and the throttle module for implementing a backup mode including detecting an adverse operating condition and then adjusting at least one of the brake module and the throttle module and terminating the backup mode upon detecting the adverse operating condition for a time interval.

A launch control method for a vehicle with a dry-type clutch includes: determining a target engine speed corresponding to an operation amount of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle when vehicle launch is started by operation of the accelerator pedal; calculating a feedforward component which is part of the torque to control the clutch using a rate of change over time of the target engine speed and a current engine torque; calculating a feedback component which is part of the torque to control the clutch based on a difference between the target engine speed and the current engine speed; calculating a compensation torque using a current engine torque and an estimated clutch torque which is estimated to be currently transferred by the clutch; and controlling a clutch actuator to drive the clutch with a sum of the feedforward component, the feedback component, and the compensation torque.

A control apparatus for a motor generator that is connected to an internal combustion engine. The control apparatus estimates an estimated torque pulsation that is an estimation value of torque pulsation of the internal combustion engine. The control apparatus controls the motor generator to reduce generated power and suppress decrease in a rotation speed of the internal combustion engine, when a negative torque that obstructs rotation of the internal combustion engine is generated in the estimated torque pulsation of the internal combustion engine.
