Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle, and vehicle control method

摘要

An auxiliary current amount that is used in an auxiliary that is mounted in a vehicle is calculated. A stop time ratio of the vehicle is calculated based on a running history of the vehicle, and an estimated stop time of the vehicle that is estimated based on the stop time ratio is calculated. An SOC threshold is set based on an estimated consumption current amount that is obtained from the estimated stop time and the auxiliary current amount. A generator that is mounted in the vehicle is operated such that a value of a storage state of the battery recovers to become larger than the SOC threshold when the value of the storage state of the battery is smaller than the SOC threshold.

主权项

1. A vehicle control apparatus that is mounted in a vehicle having an engine, a generator that is driven by a power of the engine, a battery that can be charged through electric power generation by the generator, and an auxiliary that operates by an electric power stored in the battery, comprising:
an auxiliary current amount calculation unit that calculates an auxiliary current amount that is used in the auxiliary; a stop time ratio calculation unit that calculates a stop time ratio of the vehicle based on a running history of the vehicle; a stop time calculation unit that calculates an estimated stop time of the vehicle that is estimated based on the stop time ratio; an SOC threshold setting unit that sets an SOC threshold based on an estimated consumption current amount that is obtained from the estimated stop time and the auxiliary current amount; and an electric power generation control unit that operates the generator such that a value of a storage state of the battery recovers to become larger than the SOC threshold when the value of the storage state of the battery is smaller than the SOC threshold.
