Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric vehicle control method in which the size of the regenerative braking force produced by an electric motor is switched according to a driver-originated mode setting. With this method of controlling an electric vehicle, on the basis of the accelerator operation amount, electric motor rpm, and mode setting, a base-torque target value for the electric motor is set. Then, on the basis of the base-torque target value and the rolling resistance, determination is made as to whether the electric vehicle will accelerate owing to insufficient regenerative braking force with respect to the rolling resistance, and if it is determined that the electric vehicle will accelerate, regardless of the driver-originated mode setting, the base-torque target value is corrected so as to augment the regenerative braking force.

Abstract

An internal combustion engine (1) has a three-way catalyst (15). An engine controller (9) has an oxygen amount calculation unit (102) determining an amount of oxygen flowing into the three-way catalyst (15) per unit time and an oxygen storage amount calculation unit (108) estimating a current oxygen storage amount by integrating positive and negative oxygen amount. A reference oxygen storage capacity calculation unit (107) outputs a reference oxygen storage capacity according to an intake air amount output by an intake air amount calculation unit (101) so that as the intake air amount is larger, the reference oxygen storage capacity becomes smaller. A catalyst diagnosis unit (104) judges catalyst deterioration by comparing a current oxygen storage capacity with the reference oxygen storage capacity set by taking the intake air amount into consideration.

Abstract

An internal combustion engine (1) includes a turbocharger (2) and a variable valve timing mechanism (18) for changing intake valve closing timing (IVC), and performs an early closing Miller cycle operation in which the IVC is set before bottom dead center during high load operation. When the density of intake air is low in a highland, the IVC is corrected to be retarded closer to the bottom dead center. When the density of intake air is low, the maximum output that can be output by the internal combustion engine (1) is restricted by an intake air amount limit (L33), which is determined by a rotational speed limit of the turbocharger 2, and a knocking limit (L13). When the IVC is corrected to be retarded, the knocking limit decreases as shown by a line (L14), but the intake air amount limit increases as shown by a line (L34), and consequently, the maximum output increases from an intersection point (C13) to an intersection point (C14).

Abstract

In the present invention, an internal combustion engine (1), after starting at a first action point, switches the action point from the first action point to a second action point that is an optimum action point for electricity generation, timed to when the catalytic temperature of an electrically heated catalyst (4) that is preheated in advance is once lowered and then ramped up to a target temperature (Tt). The second action point is an action point at which the output power from the internal combustion engine (1) is greater, and the amount of working gas in the internal combustion engine (1) is larger, than at the first action point. The internal combustion engine (1), with the amount of exhaust gas being controlled in accordance with the catalytic temperature of the electrically heated catalyst (4), is able to keep the electric current/power applied to the electrically heated catalyst (4) under control, and with the electrically heated catalyst (4) being controlled to be at the target temperature (Tt), is able to ensure the exhaust-purification performance of the electrically heated catalyst (4).

Abstract

In an electric vehicle having an electric powertrain including an inverter and a rotary electric machine, when the rotary electric machine is rotating, heat generated in the electric powertrain is used to warm up a battery. In this instance, a d-axis current command value, which is a command value for a d-axis current of the rotary electric machine, is calculated on the basis of a torque command value for the rotary electric machine and the rotation speed of the rotary electric machine. The d-axis current command value is corrected on the basis of the temperature of the battery, whereby a corrected d-axis current command value is calculated. A q-axis current command value, which is a command value for a q-axis current of the rotary electric machine, is calculated on the basis of the torque command value and the corrected d-axis current command value. On the basis of the increment of the corrected d-axis current command value with respect to the d-axis current command value, a compensation value for compensating torque ripple changed by the correction of the d-axis current command value is calculated. The q-axis current command value is corrected using the compensation value, whereby a corrected q-axis current command value is calculated. The electric powertrain is driven on the basis of the corrected d-axis current command value and the corrected q-axis current command value.

Abstract

A vehicle control device (100) controls the travel of an ego vehicle (1) on the basis of a target trajectory and a target inter-vehicle distance between the ego vehicle and a forward object present in front of the ego vehicle (1). A sensor (200) detects, while the ego vehicle (1) is traveling, a preceding vehicle and a next preceding vehicle ahead in the travel lane of the ego vehicle (1). When it has been determined that the next preceding vehicle is stopped and the preceding vehicle is changing lanes to a neighboring lane, the vehicle control device (100) sets, as the target inter-vehicle distance, a distance longer than a first distance, which is the target inter-vehicle distance during normal traveling, or sets a trajectory leading to the neighboring lane as the target trajectory.
