Abstract
A vehicle control system includes an engine control device, an auxiliary control device adapted to control an auxiliary driven by power of an engine, a device for estimating a plurality of drive patterns for controlling the auxiliary, a fuel consumption rate relating value calculation device, and a selection device. The fuel consumption rate relating value calculation device calculates fuel consumption rate relating values of the engine required to drive the auxiliary by the engine according to the respective estimated plurality of drive patterns by use of characteristic data of the engine. The selection device selects a single drive pattern for driving the auxiliary based on the estimated plurality of drive patterns by use of the calculated fuel consumption rate relating values.
