Control apparatus and applicable control method and control program for vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle control apparatus including an automatic transmission which changes a speed of rotation of an input shaft drivingly connected to a driving source and outputs the rotation of the input shaft to an output shaft, and shift execution means that executes shifting of the automatic transmission, comprising:
- shift control means that calculates a predetermined target input shaft rotation number based on road information and vehicle state information, and controls an input shaft rotation number such that the input shaft rotation number becomes equal to the predetermined target input shaft rotation number, by executing shifting of the shift execution means; and
shifting speed setting means that sets a shifting speed, when control based on the road information begins after switching from control based on the vehicle state information by the shift control means, to a predetermined shifting speed such that shifting is executed rapidly, and sets the shifting speed, when shifting needs to be executed during the control based on the road information by the shift control means, such that the shifting speed is lower than the predetermined shifting speed.
