Vehicle, control method, and computer program

摘要

The occurrence of shock and the occurrence of the feeling of losing speed can be prevented. When the clutch is engaged from the state in which the clutch is disengaged and a vehicle is being driven by only the power of an electric motor, an electric motor control unit controls the electric motor so that the torque of the electric motor is decreased at a rate determined according to the torque requested by the driver. During the period in which the torque of the electric motor is decreased at the above rate, a clutch control unit controls the engagement of the clutch so that the clutch is engaged after being set to a half-engaged clutch state in which part of the power is transmitted. The present invention is applicable to hybrid vehicles.

主权项

1. A vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that are connected to each other through a clutch configured to connect or cut power, the vehicle comprising an apparatus including:
electric motor control means for controlling the electric motor that reduces a torque of the electric motor at a rate determined according to a torque requested by a driver when the clutch is engaged from a state in which the clutch is disengaged and while the vehicle is driven only by the power of the electric motor; and clutch engagement control means for controlling the engagement of the clutch that shifts the clutch to a half-engaged clutch state where the power is partially transmitted and engages the clutch during the period while the torque of the electric motor is reduced at the rate.
