Vehicle control device and method for idle stop control for the same
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device for a vehicle system configured to automatically stop an internal combustion engine of a vehicle when a predetermined stop condition is satisfied and automatically start the automatically stopped internal combustion engine when a predetermined start condition is satisfied, the vehicle control device comprising:
- a stop point detection unit configured to detect a stop point, at which the vehicle possibly stops, based on map information stored in a map information storage unit, while the vehicle travels;
a traveling information control unit configured to store traveling information, which includes a state of the vehicle stopping at a stop point and a state of the vehicle passing by the stop point, in the traveling information storage unit; and
a stop determination unit configured to determine whether to stop the internal combustion engine when the vehicle stops at a stop point based on the traveling information of the stop point stored in the traveling information storage unit.

Abstract
A vehicle control device for a vehicle system automatically stops an internal combustion engine of a vehicle when a predetermined stop condition is satisfied and automatically starts the automatically stopped internal combustion engine when a predetermined start condition is satisfied. A stop point detection unit detects a stop point, at which the vehicle possibly stops, while the vehicle travels based on map information stored in a map information storage unit. A traveling information control unit stores traveling information, which includes a state of the vehicle stopping at a stop point and a state of the vehicle passing by the stop point, in the traveling information storage unit. A stop determination unit determines whether to stop the internal combustion engine when the vehicle stops at a stop point based on the traveling information of the stop point stored in the traveling information storage unit.
