Title:
CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/006743
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a novel control apparatus for a vehicle which allows the number of stops and restarts to be reduced while performing engine stop and coasting control. The configuration is such that, when there is a high probability of restarting an engine under circumstances where engine stop and coasting control is performed, the engine is maintained in idling operation while only the clutch is disengaged. For example, if it is determined that there is a high probability of restarting due to a change in the acceleration of a host vehicle or a preceding vehicle, the clutch is disengaged and the vehicle is coasted. Since the engine is maintained in an idle state, there is no need for restarting, and the number of restarts can be minimized.
