<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve drivability by reducing a load of accelerator operation by a driver and to suppress degradation in fuel cost, relating to a driving force controller of a vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: In a hybrid vehicle, the driving force of an engine 11 and a motor generator 14 can be transmitted to a drive wheel 16. Switching is possible between an engine travel mode in which a vehicle is travelled by the driving force of the engine 11 and an EV travel mode in which the vehicle can travel by the driving force of the motor generator 14. Further, switching is available among a powering section in which the motor generator 14 outputs the driving force based on the open degree of an accelerator, a regenerative section for regenerative braking, and an inertia travel section accompanying no driving force nor regenerative braking. The region of inertia travel section is changed based on the frequency of transitions to a powering section or regenerative section after passing an inertia travel section since the intention of switching to the inertia travel section of the driver is detected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
