Vehicle control apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle control apparatus. It is possible to suppress the downward movement of the vehicle on the uphill road when the engine is automatically stopped based on the idling stop control and the braking operation is released and the engine is restarted. The vehicle control apparatus includes a vehicle speed detection part, an idle stopping control part for making the engine automatically stop if the engine stopping condition including braking operation and a vehicle speed being less than or equal to a first speed is satisfied and making the engine automatically start if a condition is satisfied, including a condition that, after the engine is automatically stopped, a braking stopping operation is performed; and an uphill road determination part determining that the vehicle is on an upslope; and a brake control part automatically generating a braking force if it is determined that the vehicle is on an upslope, during a period from when the engine starting condition is satisfied to the engine starting is completed as a result of the braking stopping operation before the vehicle is stopped after the engine is automatically stopped.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle capable of executing idling stop control. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known an idle stop control that automatically stops the engine of a vehicle when a predetermined engine stop condition is satisfied, and then automatically restarts the engine when a predetermined engine start condition is satisfied (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-77650 [0004] However, for example, in idling stop control that stops the engine during deceleration before the vehicle stops (hereinafter referred to as deceleration idling stop control), there may be cases where the brake operation is released after the engine stops but before the vehicle stops when the vehicle is decelerated. And the case of engine restart. [0005] Here, the vehicle does not generate creep torque during the period from when...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, for example, in the idling stop control that stops the engine at the time of deceleration before the vehicle is stopped (hereinafter referred to as deceleration idling stop control), when the vehicle is decelerated, the brake operation may be released after the engine is stopped but before the vehicle is stopped. When the engine is restarted
