Vehicle control system

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a vehicle control device that is capable of effectively reducing variations in torque output to a drive wheel by performing relatively simple control at a timing at which a damping state in which motor damping control is performed is switched to a nondamping state in which the motor damping control is stopped, so that NV characteristics of the vehicle can be more reliably prevented from deteriorating. When switching from a damping-control performed state, in which the motor damping control is performed by putting a lock-up clutch (134) into an engaged state, to a damping-control unperformed state, in which the motor damping control is unperformed by putting the lock-up clutch (134) into a slipping state, a command to transition from the engaged state to the slipping state is given to the lock-up clutch (134), the motor damping control continues until the transition to the slipping state is completed, and the motor damping control ends when it is determined that the transition to the slipping state has been completed.
