[0020] Next, a mode (embodiment) for carrying out the present disclosure will be described. Figure 1 This is a block diagram showing an example of a hybrid vehicle 20 equipped with a vehicle-mounted control device as an embodiment of the present disclosure, with a hybrid electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as a hybrid ECU) 50 as the center. As an example of a vehicle-mounted control device, the hybrid ECU 50 is an example. As shown in the figure, the hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment is equipped with an engine EG and a motor MG as power sources. The hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment switches between a CD mode (Charge Depleting mode) and a CS mode (Charge Sustaining mode) as driving modes to drive. In the CD mode, electric driving is prioritized to reduce the power storage ratio SOC of the battery 40, and in the CS mode, electric driving and hybrid driving are used in a manner that the power storage ratio SOC of the battery 40 is maintained at a target ratio. Electric driving is a mode of driving only by power from the motor MG in a state where the operation of the engine EG is stopped, and hybrid driving is a mode of driving by running the engine EG and the power from the motor MG.

[0021] In addition to the power source, the hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment also has an ignition switch 21, a GPS (Global Positioning System; Global Positioning Satellite) 22, a vehicle-mounted camera 24, a millimeter-wave radar 26, an acceleration sensor 28, a vehicle speed sensor 30, an accelerator sensor 32, a brake sensor 34, a mode switching switch 36, a battery actuator 38, a battery 40, an air-conditioning electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as an air-conditioning ECU) 42, an air-conditioning compressor 44, a hybrid ECU 50, an accelerator actuator 60, a brake actuator 62, a brake device 64, a display device 66, a driving status indicator 67, a meter 68, a DCM (Data Communication Module) 70, and a navigation system 80.

[0022] The GPS 22 is a device that detects the position of the vehicle based on signals transmitted from a plurality of GPS satellites. The vehicle-mounted camera 24 is a camera that captures images of the surroundings of the vehicle, including, for example, a front camera that captures images of the front of the vehicle or a rear camera that captures images of the rear of the vehicle. The millimeter wave radar 26 detects the inter-vehicle distance and relative speed between the vehicle and the vehicle in front, or detects the inter-vehicle distance and relative speed between the vehicle and the vehicle behind.

[0023] The acceleration sensor 28 is a sensor that detects, for example, the acceleration of the vehicle in the front-rear direction or the acceleration of the vehicle in the left-right direction (lateral direction). The vehicle speed sensor 30 detects the vehicle speed based on the wheel speed, etc. The accelerator sensor 32 detects the accelerator opening corresponding to the amount of depression of the driver's accelerator pedal, etc. The brake sensor 34 detects the brake position, etc., which is the amount of depression of the driver's brake pedal. The mode switching switch 36 is arranged near the steering wheel of the driver's seat and is a switch for switching between the CD mode and the CS mode.

[0024] The battery actuator 38 detects the state of the battery 40, such as the terminal voltage, the charge and discharge current, and the battery temperature, and manages the battery 40 based on these. The battery actuator 38 calculates the storage ratio SOC, which is the ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the full storage capacity, based on the charge and discharge current, or calculates the maximum allowable output power (output limit Wout) that can be output from the battery 40 or the maximum allowable input power (input limit Win) that can be input to the battery 40 based on the storage ratio SOC or the battery temperature. The battery 40 is configured as a secondary battery that can be charged and discharged, and for example, a lithium ion battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, a lead storage battery, etc. can be used.

[0025] Although not shown in the figure, the air conditioning ECU 42 is configured as a microcomputer centered on a CPU, and in addition to the CPU, it also includes a ROM, a RAM, a flash memory, an input port, an output port, a communication port, etc. The air conditioning ECU 42 is installed in an air conditioning device that performs air conditioning on the passenger compartment, and drives and controls the air conditioning compressor 44 in the air conditioning device so that the temperature of the passenger compartment becomes a set temperature.

[0026] The engine EG is configured as an internal combustion engine, for example. The motor MG is configured as an electric motor that can also function as a generator such as a synchronous generator motor, for example. Although not shown, the motor MG is connected to the battery 40 via an inverter, and can output driving force using the power supplied from the battery 40, or charge the battery 40 with the generated power.

[0027] Although not shown in the figure, the hybrid ECU 50 is configured as a microcomputer centered around a CPU, and in addition to the CPU, it also includes a ROM, a RAM, a flash memory, an input port, an output port, a communication port, etc. The hybrid ECU 50 sets the driving mode, or sets the target operating point (target speed, target torque) of the engine EG and the torque command of the motor MG based on the set driving mode, the accelerator opening from the accelerator sensor 32, the brake position from the brake sensor 34, and the output limit and input limit from the battery actuator 38. In addition, the hybrid ECU 50 is not started in the ACC start (accessory-on) state, but in the ready start (ready-on) state.

[0028] The hybrid ECU 50 sets the required driving force or required power based on the accelerator opening from the accelerator sensor 32 or the vehicle speed from the vehicle speed sensor 30 during electric running, sets the torque command of the motor MG to output the required driving force or required power to the vehicle, and sends the set torque command to the accelerator actuator 60. The hybrid ECU 50 sets the target operating point of the engine EG and the torque command of the motor MG to output the required driving force or required power to the vehicle during hybrid running, and sends the target operating point and the torque command to the accelerator actuator 60. In addition, when the brake pedal is stepped on, the hybrid ECU 50 sets the required braking force based on the brake position from the brake sensor 34 or the vehicle speed from the vehicle speed sensor 30, sets the regenerative torque command for regenerative control of the motor MG based on the required braking force or the vehicle speed, sets the target braking force generated by the brake device, sends the torque command to the accelerator actuator 60, and sends the target braking force to the brake actuator 62.

[0029] The accelerator actuator 60 controls the driving of the engine EG and the motor MG according to the target operating point and the torque command set by the hybrid ECU 50. The accelerator actuator 60 controls the intake air amount, fuel injection, ignition, intake valve opening and closing timing, etc., so that the engine EG is operated at the target operating point (target speed, target torque). In addition, the accelerator actuator 60 controls the switching of the switching element of the inverter for driving the motor MG so that the torque corresponding to the torque command is output from the motor MG.

[0030] The brake actuator 62 controls the brake device 64 so that the target braking force set by the hybrid ECU 50 acts on the vehicle through the brake device 64. The brake device 64 is configured as a hydraulically driven friction brake, for example.

[0031] The display device 66 is, for example, incorporated in a mounting panel in front of the driver's seat, and displays various information and functions as a touch panel. The driving state indicator 67 includes a BEV indicator and an HEV indicator (not shown). When the vehicle is driven by the motor, the HEV indicator is lit and the HEV indicator is extinguished. When the vehicle is driven by the hybrid power, the BEV indicator is extinguished and the HEV indicator is lit. The meter 68 is, for example, incorporated in a mounting panel in front of the driver's seat.

[0032] The DCM (Data Communication Module) 70 sends the information of the vehicle to the traffic information management center 100, the user's portable terminal 200, or receives road traffic information from the traffic information management center 100, or receives data from the portable terminal 200 such as a smartphone or tablet. Examples of the information of the vehicle include the location, speed, driving power, driving mode, etc. of the vehicle. Examples of the road traffic information include information related to current or future traffic jams, information related to the current average speed of a section on the driving route or the predicted value of the future average speed, information related to traffic control, information related to weather, information related to road surface conditions, information related to maps, etc. The DCM 70 communicates with the traffic information management center 100 at specified intervals (for example, every 30 seconds, every 1 minute, every 2 minutes, etc.).

[0033] The navigation system 80 is a system for guiding the vehicle to the set destination, and is provided with a display unit 82 and a map information database 84. The display unit 82 is a functional block having functions such as displaying the route to the destination and the position of the vehicle on the display device 66 based on the map information. The navigation system 80 communicates with the traffic information management center 100 via the DCM (Data Communication Module) 70. When setting the destination, the navigation system 80 sets the route based on the information of the destination, the information of the current position (the current position of the vehicle) obtained by the GPS 22, and the information stored in the map information database 84. Then, the navigation system 80 communicates with the traffic information management center 100 at predetermined intervals (for example, every 3 minutes or every 5 minutes, etc.) and obtains road traffic information, and provides route guidance based on the road traffic information.

[0034] When the navigation system 80 performs route guidance, every time the navigation system 80 obtains road traffic information from the traffic information management center 100 (or at predetermined intervals), the navigation system 80 generates load information required for traveling in each driving section as pre-read information based on information on each driving section in the driving route, information on driving load, the vehicle speed, driving power of the vehicle, and driving mode of the vehicle in the road traffic information obtained from the traffic information management center 100, and sends it to the hybrid ECU 50. In addition, the pre-read information also includes: information on the vehicle such as the position, speed, driving power, and driving mode of the vehicle; information on current or future traffic congestion; information on the current average vehicle speed in the section on the driving route or the predicted value of the future average vehicle speed; information on traffic control; information on weather; information on road conditions; and information on maps.

[0035] Next, the operation of the hybrid ECU 50 in the hybrid vehicle 20 configured as described above, particularly the operation when setting the electric driving range, will be described. Figure 2 1 is a flowchart showing an electric running setting area setting process as an example of a process for setting an area for electric running (electric running setting area) by a user's operation.

[0036] In the electric travel setting area setting process, first, a process of accepting a user's designation of an area on a map is performed (step S100). This area setting can be performed using the touch panel function of the display device 66 or by communicating with the portable terminal 200 installed with an application software for setting the electric travel setting area.

[0037] Next, it is determined whether the area designation in step S100 is the designation of the electric travel setting area (step S110). Specifically, the determination is made based on whether the user input is the designation of the area for the electric travel setting area or the designation of the area for other purposes. When it is determined that the area designation is not the designation of the electric travel setting area, it is determined that it is not the object of this process, and this process is terminated.

[0038] When it is determined that the area designation in step S110 is the designation of the electric travel setting area, the area where electric travel is possible (electric travel possible area) is calculated based on the remaining amount of the battery 40 (step S120). In this case, as the remaining amount of the battery 40, the remaining amount at this time may be used, or the remaining amount of the battery 40 when traveling from the current position to the electric travel setting area may be calculated and used, the remaining amount of the battery 40 when traveling a predetermined distance may be calculated and used, or the remaining amount when the battery 40 is fully charged (full charge remaining amount) may be used. In the case where the remaining amount of the battery 40 is calculated as the remaining amount of the battery 40, the battery 40 may be charged by hybrid travel. In the case where the remaining amount of the battery 40 when traveling a predetermined distance is calculated as the remaining amount of the battery 40, the engine EG may be driven as much as possible to charge the battery 40 forcibly, or the engine EG may be driven to a degree that does not give a sense of discomfort to the driver and the passengers.

[0039] Next, it is determined whether the electric driving setting area is an area below the electric driving possible area (step S130). If it is determined that the electric driving setting area is an area below the electric driving possible area, the electric driving possible area is displayed on the map using the second display color (step S140), and the electric driving setting area is displayed on the map using the first display color (step S150), and the present process ends. Figure 3An example of an electric driving setting area and an electric driving area displayed on the display device 66 or the portable terminal 200 when it is determined that the electric driving setting area is an area below the electric driving area is shown. In the figure, A1 represents the electric driving setting area, and A2 represents the electric driving area. As shown in the figure, the electric driving setting area A1 is displayed on the inner side of the electric driving area A2. Here, the first display color and the second display color can be different colors. In addition, after the electric driving area is displayed on the map with the second display color, the electric driving setting area is displayed on the map with the first display color, in order to change the display color of the electric driving setting area A1 in the electric driving area A2 with the second display color to the first display color.

[0040] When it is determined in step S130 that the electric driving setting area is an area larger than the electric driving possible area, the electric driving setting area is displayed on the map using the first display color (step S160), and the electric driving possible area is displayed on the map using the second display color (step S170), and it is notified that the electric driving setting area exceeds the electric driving possible area (step S180), and the present process ends. Figure 4 The figure shows an example of an electric driving setting area and an electric driving area displayed on the display device 66 or the portable terminal 200 when it is determined that the electric driving setting area is larger than the electric driving area. As shown in the figure, the electric driving setting area A1 is displayed outside the electric driving area A2. After the electric driving setting area is displayed on the map with the first display color, the electric driving area is displayed on the map with the second display color. This is a process for changing the display color of the electric driving area A2 within the electric driving setting area A1 with the first display color to the second display color. In addition, Figure 4 In the example of FIG. 1 , “The electric running setting area exceeds the electric running possible area.” is displayed on the display device 66 and this is also notified by voice.

[0041] In the hybrid ECU 50 functioning as the vehicle-mounted control device described above, when the electric travel setting area is set by the user, the electric travel-enabled area is calculated based on the remaining power of the battery 40, and the electric travel setting area is displayed in the first display color together with the map information on the display device 66, and the electric travel-enabled area is displayed in the second display color. Thus, it is possible to inform the driver or user whether the electric travel setting area can be driven by electric travel. Furthermore, since this is notified when the electric travel setting area is an area larger than the electric travel-enabled area, it is possible to more reliably inform the user that the electric travel setting area is an area larger than the electric travel-enabled area.

[0042] In the hybrid ECU 50 of the embodiment, when the electric running setting area is an area larger than the electric running possible area, the electric running setting area is displayed on the map in the first display color, and the electric running possible area is displayed on the map in the second display color, to notify that the electric running setting area exceeds the electric running possible area. However, when the electric running setting area is an area larger than the electric running possible area, the electric running setting area may not be displayed in the first display color and the electric running possible area may not be displayed in the second display color, but the display device 66 or the sound output may be used to notify that the electric running setting area cannot be set. Figure 5 FIG. 8 is an example of the electric travel setting area setting process in this case. Figure 5 In the electric driving setting area setting process, replace Figure 2 The electric driving setting area setting process of steps S160 to S180 is skipped and step S260 is executed. That is, when it is determined in step S130 that the electric driving setting area is an area larger than the electric driving area, it is notified that the electric driving setting area cannot be set (step S260), and the present process is terminated. In addition, when the electric driving setting area is an area larger than the electric driving area, it is also possible not to notify that the electric driving setting area cannot be set and not to set the electric driving setting area.

[0043] In the hybrid ECU 50 of the embodiment, the electric running setting area is set by the user designating an area on the map. However, if an electric running setting area has already been set within a predetermined distance from the designated area, a new electric running setting area may not be set. Figure 6 FIG. 8 is an example of the electric travel setting area setting process in this case. Figure 6 In the process of setting the electric driving setting area, Figure 2 Step S115 is performed between step S110 and step S120 of the electric travel setting area setting process. Figure 6In the electric driving setting area setting process, when it is determined that the area designation in step S110 is the designation of the electric driving setting area, it is determined whether there is an already set electric driving setting area within the specified distance from the area designated by the user on the map (step S115). As the specified distance, 1km, 3km, 5km, 10km, etc. can be used. When it is determined that there is an already set electric driving setting area within the specified distance, the setting of the electric driving setting area is not performed and the present process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no already set electric driving setting area within the specified distance, the processing after step S120 is executed to terminate the present process. In addition, when it is determined that there is an already set electric driving setting area within the specified distance, it can also be notified by display on the display device 66 or sound output that the setting of the electric driving setting area cannot be performed.

[0044] In the hybrid ECU 50 of the embodiment, the electric running setting area is set by the user designating an area on the map, but an area previously set in the map information database 84 may be used as the electric running setting area.

[0045] In the hybrid ECU 50 of the embodiment, the electric driving setting area is displayed on the map with the first display color, and the electric driving area is displayed on the map with the second display color. However, in addition to this, the electric driving non-allowable area where electric driving is not allowed may be displayed on the map with the third display color. In this case, when the electric driving setting area is an area larger than the electric driving area, the area other than the electric driving area in the electric driving setting area becomes the electric driving non-allowable area, so the electric driving area based on the second display color and the electric driving non-allowable area based on the third display color are displayed on the map. In addition, in this case, the third display color may also be set to be the same as the first display color. That is, the area other than the electric driving area in the electric driving setting area becomes the electric driving non-allowable area, so the area displayed with the first display color becomes the electric driving non-allowable area.
