Device i.e. hybrid vehicle-electric control unit, for controlling activation of drive source in hybrid vehicle, has driving pattern determining unit determining region of driving pattern of vehicle by selecting drive source

摘要

The device i.e. hybrid vehicle-electric control unit (21), has a route detecting unit detecting a planned driving route to a certain objective. A region data acquisition unit detects region data included in an operating range in which the planned driving route runs. A detecting unit detects energy subscript for estimated subscript. A driving pattern determining unit determines a region of a driving pattern of a vehicle by selecting a drive source according to the estimated fuel subscript or estimated electricity subscript, where the region is defined under predetermined condition.
