Abstract

An overshoot of actual acceleration relative to target acceleration is suppressed in controlling acceleration of a vehicle by performing integral control. A vehicle control device includes: an actual acceleration recognition unit that recognizes actual acceleration of a vehicle; an integrated value calculation unit that calculates a time integrated value of a difference between predetermined target acceleration and the actual acceleration; a control instruction value setting unit that sets a control instruction value for a drive apparatus of the vehicle based on the time integrated value; and an integration processing limiting unit that limits calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit so that the time integrated value when a predetermined limiting condition is satisfied is smaller than that when the limiting condition is not satisfied.

Claims (14)

1 . A vehicle control device comprising:

an actual acceleration recognition unit that recognizes actual acceleration of a vehicle;

an integrated value calculation unit that calculates a time integrated value of a difference between predetermined target acceleration and the actual acceleration;

a control instruction value setting unit that sets a control instruction value for a drive apparatus of the vehicle based on the time integrated value; and

an integration processing limiting unit that limits calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit so that the time integrated value when a predetermined limiting condition is satisfied is smaller than the time integrated value when the limiting condition is not satisfied,

wherein the limiting condition is that a difference between a target jerk that is a differential value of the target acceleration and an actual jerk that is the differential value of the actual acceleration is greater than a predetermined jerk difference determination value.

2 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein when the limiting condition is satisfied, the integration processing limiting unit limits the calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit by stopping the calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit.

3 . A vehicle control device comprising:

an actual acceleration recognition unit that recognizes actual acceleration of a vehicle;

an integrated value calculation unit that calculates a time integrated value of a difference between predetermined target acceleration and the actual acceleration;

a control instruction value setting unit that sets a control instruction value for a drive apparatus of the vehicle based on the time integrated value; and

an integration processing limiting unit that limits calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit so that the time integrated value when a predetermined limiting condition is satisfied is smaller than the time integrated value when the limiting condition is not satisfied,

wherein the limiting condition is that a difference between the target acceleration and the actual acceleration is greater than a predetermined acceleration difference determination value.

4 . The vehicle control device according to claim 3 , wherein when the limiting condition is satisfied, the integration processing limiting unit limits the calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit by stopping the calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit.
