Vehicle control apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle control apparatus comprising an electronic control device configured to perform acceleration preparation in which an internal combustion engine is controlled such that a response delay of the internal combustion engine at a time of acceleration is restrained for a predetermined time period from a time point at which an acceleration demand of a driver of a vehicle is estimated when the acceleration demand is estimated while the vehicle is travelling using a driving force from the internal combustion engine,wherein the electronic control device is configured to control the internal combustion engine such that the internal combustion engine is in a predetermined state in which output responsiveness related to the internal combustion engine is further improved than the output responsiveness at a starting time point of a deceleration support, for the predetermined time period when the acceleration demand of the driver of the vehicle is estimated due to an execution of the deceleration support with which the vehicle automatically decelerates in response to at least one of reduction of the driving force from the internal combustion engine and braking force applied by a braking device of the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes an electronic control device that controls an internal combustion engine such that a response delay of the internal combustion engine at the time of acceleration is restrained for a predetermined time period from the time point at which an acceleration demand of a driver of a vehicle is estimated when the acceleration demand is estimated while the vehicle is travelling using a driving force from the internal combustion engine.

wherein the electronic control device is configured to control the internal combustion engine such that the internal combustion engine is in a predetermined state in which output responsiveness related to the internal combustion engine is further improved than the output responsiveness at a starting time point of a deceleration support, for the predetermined time period when the acceleration demand of the driver of the vehicle is estimated due to an execution of the deceleration support with which the vehicle automatically decelerates in response to at least one of reduction of the driving force from the internal combustion engine and braking force applied by a braking device of the vehicle.
