  In a conventional hybrid type vehicle, each traveling mode is switched according to a currently traveling road and a traveling state such as a vehicle speed and a throttle opening. For this reason, for example, the travel mode can be switched regardless of the length of the tunnel, and therefore, the motor mode may be switched even in a short tunnel that is not easily affected by the exhaust gas. On the other hand, in places where you want to reduce exhaust gas, for example, at homes and around registration points and in parking lots, the influence of exhaust gas is not taken into account, so depending on the distance from the registration point and the size of the parking lot It was not a mode switch. As described above, there is a problem that the driving mode is not in consideration of the environment.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a vehicle control device and a hybrid vehicle that control the driving mode and the engine output in consideration of the environment.

The vehicle control unit controls the vehicle driving mode and engine output based on information from the specific section size determination unit and a list of threshold values from the storage unit. A control signal is output.

  According to the present invention, a vehicle control device and a hybrid vehicle that take into account the environment can be obtained in order to determine the scale of a specific section and set the vehicle in a travel mode using an electric motor or reduce the engine output based on a list of threshold values.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hybrid vehicle 1 and a vehicle control device 2 that controls the hybrid vehicle 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The drive unit installed in the body of the hybrid vehicle includes an engine 10 of an internal combustion engine driven by fuel such as gasoline and light oil, and a motor (electric motor) 11 such as an AC motor that rotates by electric power, Used in combination as a power source for vehicles. Furthermore, a braking device such as a drum brake or a disc brake can be provided. They can also be placed in passenger cars, buses, trucks and the like. As the interlocking method of the engine 10 and the motor 11, a driving method such as a series method in which the engine is used only for power generation or a parallel method in which a plurality of mounted power sources are used for driving the wheels can be arranged. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a split system in which power from an engine is divided by a power dividing mechanism 12 such as a planetary gear or a clutch and distributed to a motor 11 (driving wheels 13 through a motor shaft) and a generator 14. The motor may be directly connected to each drive wheel.

  For example, in the case of the engine traveling mode in which the engine is traveling alone, the hybrid vehicle 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 travels by driving the drive wheels 13 without supplying power to the motor 11 disposed on the same axis. At that time, if the engine has surplus power, the power split mechanism 12 may rotate the generator 14 to generate electricity and charge the battery 15.

  In the combined travel mode in which the motor and the engine are traveled together, the drive wheels 13 are driven by the engine 10 and the drive wheels 13 are driven by supplying electric power to the motor 11 from the battery 15. It is often used when high power is required, such as when accelerating.

  In the motor travel mode in which the motor travels alone, the motor 11 is supplied with electric power from the battery 15 and drives the drive wheels 13 to travel. At that time, the engine 10 may rotate the generator 14 by the power split mechanism 12 to generate power and charge the battery 15. In a section where exhaust gas is desired to be suppressed, it is better to suppress the exhaust gas by lowering or stopping the engine output than usual.

  The battery 15 is a power storage unit for the power generated by the generator 14 and stores the regenerative current from the motor 11 generated during braking. The battery 15 is a secondary battery that can be repeatedly charged and discharged, and is generally a lead storage battery, a nickel cadmium battery, a nickel metal hydride battery, etc., but a high-performance lead storage battery used in an electric vehicle or the like, A lithium ion battery, a sodium sulfur battery, etc. may be sufficient. Further, the battery 15 includes a charge amount detection unit 16 such as a capacity detection sensor for detecting the storage amount.

  The drive control unit 17 uses the battery charge amount from the charge amount detection unit 16, the vehicle speed from the speed detection unit 20 described later, and a signal from the vehicle control unit 28 described later, Control of the division mechanism 12 and switching of the running mode by the engine 10 and the motor 11 are performed. In addition, a function of outputting the current traveling mode and the states of the engine 10, the motor 11, and the power split mechanism 12 to the vehicle control unit 28 is also provided.

  The vehicle control device 2 includes a speed detection unit 20, a position detection unit 21, a map database 22, a specific section travel determination unit 23, a specific section size determination unit 24, a storage unit 25, an operation unit 26, a display unit 27, and vehicle control. Part 28. The vehicle control unit 28, the specific section travel determination unit 23, and the specific section scale determination unit 24 are configured by a calculation unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a semiconductor memory, and are operated by an application program.

  The speed detector 20 receives a speed pulse from the vehicle and obtains the vehicle speed. The position detector 21 detects the position of the host vehicle using a received signal from a satellite positioning system such as GPS (Global Positioning System), vehicle speed, direction information from a gyro sensor, and map matching. The map database includes a magnetic disk such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), a large-capacity memory, and the like, and stores map data. This is map data accessed to acquire the type of road and the type of area when the vehicle control unit 28 determines the driving mode and engine control.

  FIG. 2 is an example of map data stored in the map database 22. Map data includes map management information and one or more pieces of mesh data. The map data is hierarchized according to the degree of detail of the map, and the whole country is divided into several rectangular areas (mesh) for each hierarchy, and mesh data is provided corresponding to each mesh for each hierarchy. The upper layer mesh is a collection of a plurality of lower layer meshes, and the size of the mesh becomes larger as the upper layer.

  The map management information is data for managing each mesh data for each layer, and has information for associating each region with each mesh data for each layer, the storage position of each mesh data in the map information, and the data size. .

  The mesh data includes road data used for route search, map matching, and road display, background data for displaying map backgrounds such as rivers, seas, place names, and landmarks, and mesh headers that manage these data. Consists of. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the road data includes a node list, a link list, and data for managing them. The background data consists of data shown in FIG.

  FIG. 3 is an example of a node list. A node list is a sequence of node records. The node represents a point such as an intersection located on the road, and a node record is provided for each node. The node record includes a node ID for identifying the node, node coordinates representing the geographical position of the node, node attribute information representing various attributes related to the node such as presence / absence of traffic lights and right / left turn restrictions, and a link connected to the node. And a connection link ID column for indicating a link connected to the node.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a link list. A linked list is a sequence of linked records. A link represents a road connecting nodes, and a link record is provided for each link. The link record indicates a link ID for identifying the link, link attribute information indicating the link length, width, and seed attribute of the link, and a geographical position of each vertex when the link shape is represented by a broken line. It consists of link shape information that is a sequence of coordinates, a start point node ID that represents a node on the link start point side, and an end point node ID that represents a node on the end point side of the link.

  The link attribute information includes an attribute indicating that the link corresponds to a tunnel, an attribute indicating that the link is in a parking lot, an attribute indicating that the link is located in a school zone, and the link is a narrow street. There is an attribute that indicates that there is a link, an attribute that indicates that the link is located near the intersection, an attribute that indicates that the link is located near the pedestrian crossing, an attribute that indicates that the link is located on a curve with poor visibility, etc. .

  FIG. 5 is an example of background data. The background data is an array of background records representing the map background of planes, lines, and points. The background record represents the background type indicating the type, the background attribute information indicating the type of background, and the geographical position of the vertex when the background shape type (point, line, surface) is represented by a polyline or polygon. It consists of background shape information indicating a sequence of coordinate values or the number of these coordinate values, and character string information representing a character string of a background name.

  Whether the specific section travel determination unit 23 is traveling in a specific section such as a tunnel, a parking lot, a home, or the like around a registration point based on the current position from the position detection unit 21 and the data from the map database 22. Determine. Specifically, the link attribute information in the road data described above is used. In that case, tunnels, parking lots, narrow streets, school zones, curves with poor visibility, near intersections, near pedestrian crossings, registered points by users, etc. are called specific sections, and it is used to determine whether or not you are traveling in a specific section use. Alternatively, the background attribute information in the background data described above may be used. The background attribute information represents a tunnel, a parking lot, a school zone, a narrow street, the vicinity of an intersection, the vicinity of a pedestrian crossing, a curve with poor visibility, and the like, and a specific section is assumed to be traveling when passing through these areas.

  The specific section size determination unit 24 determines the scale of the specific section travel determination unit 23. Specifically, using the link attribute information in the road data described above, the sum of the link lengths belonging to one specific section is set as the scale of the specific section. Alternatively, the background attribute information in the background data described above may be used. In this case, an area may be added to the background record, and the size of the specific section may be a tunnel, a parking lot, a school zone, a narrow street, the vicinity of an intersection, the vicinity of a pedestrian crossing, or an area of a curve with poor visibility. In addition, in the case of points such as registered points, intersections, and pedestrian crossings, the distance between these points and the current position is obtained and determined as the scale.

  The storage unit 25 is composed of a non-volatile semiconductor memory, an HDD, and the like, and is a reference for changing the vehicle travel mode to a motor travel mode by a motor as shown in FIG. Store a list of threshold values for a specific section in the map data

  The operation unit 26 includes a touch panel formed on a display unit 27 formed of a liquid crystal display or the like, or a remote controller, and is used when correcting a threshold list of a specific section stored in the storage unit 25. A specific section considering the environment is input, or a threshold value of the scale of the specific section when switching to the motor travel mode is input. For example, an arbitrary point such as a home is set as a registered point of a specific section, or a threshold such as a distance from the registered point and the size of a parking lot is input. In addition, the threshold value of the scale of a specific section that has been input in advance, for example, the length of a tunnel, the length of a narrow street, the length of a school zone, the length of a curve with poor visibility, the distance from an intersection, the distance from a pedestrian crossing Etc. may be changed. Moreover, since the vehicle control apparatus 2 of this Embodiment 1 can be used also as a car navigation apparatus, you may input a departure place and a destination. The display unit 27 may display the operation status of the operation unit 26 or display a route or map of the car navigation device.

  The vehicle control unit 28 controls the entire vehicle control device 2. Information on the current travel mode and engine output from the drive control unit 17 is acquired, and battery capacity information from the charge amount detection unit 16 and vehicle speed from the speed detection unit 20 are acquired. Further, for example, a list of threshold values of a specific section when switching the driving mode and the engine output as shown in FIG. 6 and the scale of the specific section from the specific section size determination unit 24 are stored. Compare. From these pieces of information, switching to the motor travel mode, determining that the engine output is reduced or stopping the engine, and outputting a control signal to the drive control unit 17 of the hybrid vehicle 1.

  First, the basic operation of the drive control unit 17 of the hybrid vehicle 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step S100, the battery charge amount is acquired from the charge amount detection unit 16. If the charge amount is greater than or equal to the specified value, the process proceeds to step S110. If the charge amount is less than the specified value, the process proceeds to step S140.

  In step S110, the current vehicle travel speed is acquired from the speed detector 20, and if the speed is less than the specified value, the process proceeds to step S130, and if the speed is greater than the specified value, the process proceeds to step S120. Thereafter, in step S120, the vehicle travel mode is acquired from the vehicle control device 2. If the motor travel priority mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S130. If the engine travel priority is selected, the process proceeds to step S140. In step S130, the mode is switched to the motor travel mode, and in step S140, the mode is switched to the engine travel mode.

  Next, operation | movement of the vehicle control apparatus 2 is demonstrated according to the flowchart of FIG. In step S200, the vehicle detection position is detected by the position detector 21. Next, the map database 22 is accessed, and based on the link list of FIG. 4 and the own vehicle travel position, the link record of the link on which the vehicle is traveling is referred to and the link type is acquired (step S210). In step S220, when the link type is the link type of the specific section and permission is given from the list of FIG. 6, the process proceeds to step S230. If the link type is not the link type of the specific section or is not permitted, the process proceeds to S280.

  In step S230, the map database 22 is accessed, the links having the same link attribute are traced from the link list of FIG. 4, the link lengths are accumulated, and the total link length is calculated. Thereafter, in step S240, the threshold value of the corresponding link type is acquired from the list of FIG. 6 and compared with the total link length of the specific section or the distance from the specific point. If the threshold is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S250, and if not, the process proceeds to S280.

  For example, in the case of FIG. 6, when the length of the tunnel is 50 m or more, or when the length of the narrow street, the length of the school zone, or the length of the curve with poor visibility is 10 m or more, the mode is changed to the motor driving mode. Moreover, it changes to motor drive mode also when the magnitude | size of a parking lot is 10 m or more. Furthermore, when the distance from the intersection is within 10 m, the distance from the pedestrian crossing is within 10 m, or within 10 m from the registration point, it means that the motor driving mode is changed.

  In step S250, the charge amount of the battery is acquired from the charge amount detection unit 16, and the motor travelable distance is calculated. In step S260, as shown in FIG. 9A, if the motor travelable distance is longer than the total link length of the specific section, it is determined that all the specific sections are within the motor travelable range, and the process proceeds to step S270. When the motor travelable distance is shorter than the total link length of the specific section as shown in FIG. 9 (b), usually the center of the total link length of the specific section and the center of the motor travelable distance are combined, and the vehicle position Is within the motor travelable range, the process proceeds to step S270. If the vehicle position is outside the motor travelable range, the process proceeds to step S280. That is, in such a case, the vehicle travels in the motor traveling mode at the center.

  In addition, when the motor travelable distance is shorter than the total link length of the specific section and the specific section is linear, the central part is a place where the exhaust gas tends to stay, so the motor travelable distance is set according to the central part. In addition, when the specific section is curved, the exhaust gas tends to stay in the curved area. In other words, if you drive the motor to some places where exhaust gas is likely to stay, such as the center in a specific section, curved places, mountains and valleys of buildings, intersections, narrow streets where the road is narrow good.

  In step S270, the motor travel priority mode is transmitted to the drive control unit 17. In step S280, the engine travel priority mode is transmitted to the drive control unit 17. In addition, when there is almost no charge amount of a battery, although engine driving mode is continued, since engine exhaust can reduce exhaust gas even in that case, driving | running | working in consideration of the environment is possible. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable to output a control signal for reducing engine output.

  In the case of a series-type hybrid vehicle in which the engine is used only for power generation, the motor traveling mode is always set. In the case of such a hybrid vehicle, it is preferable to suppress the exhaust gas by reducing the engine output or stopping the engine in an environment-friendly section. In a hybrid vehicle having a motor running mode and an engine running mode, when changing from the engine running mode to the motor running mode, the engine output can be turned to power generation, but in this case, the change in the engine output can be suppressed. Therefore, the exhaust gas can be suppressed as compared with the engine running mode, but more preferably, in the motor running mode, the exhaust gas can be further reduced if the engine output is reduced or the engine is stopped. I can do it.

  Note that the list of threshold values in the specific section in FIG. 6 may be changed by a user input from the operation unit 26. For example, in FIG. 6, the size of the parking lot is 10 m or more, but may be changed to 20 m, for example. Moreover, although the motor travel mode is “permitted” for a curve with a poor visibility of 10 m or more, the motor travel mode may be set to be unusable by changing this to “not permitted”. Moreover, you may add a specific area suitably.

  In the vehicle control device and the hybrid vehicle configured as described above, since the motor travel mode is set or the engine output is decreased, the travel can be performed while the exhaust gas emission in the specific section is suppressed. Further, even when the battery charge amount is not sufficient to run the motor in the entire stroke of the specific section, the motor travels in a part of the specific section where the exhaust gas is likely to stay, so that the exhaust gas can be kept from staying as much as possible. In this way, a vehicle control device and a hybrid vehicle that control the driving mode and engine output in consideration of the environment can be obtained.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Although the vehicle control device of the first embodiment can have a car navigation function, in the second embodiment, a radio provided in a normal vehicle even in a vehicle control device that does not have a car navigation function. A vehicle control device and a hybrid vehicle that travel in consideration of the environment using a radio wave state such as the above will be described.

  The vehicle control device 3 illustrated in FIG. 10 includes a radio wave state detection unit 30 that detects a radio wave state. This may be a radio wave from a satellite positioning system such as GPS, or a radio wave from a radio, a television, a mobile phone or the like. These radio wave conditions are monitored. When the radio wave condition deteriorates from a certain value, the point is often a closed place where exhaust gas is likely to stay, such as a tunnel, a valley of a building, an underground parking lot or a multi-story parking lot. Therefore, the vehicle control unit 31 performs a motor operation when the radio wave condition satisfies a certain threshold as shown in FIG. 11 (when the S / N ratio of the radio wave is less than a predetermined value or when the radio wave is not detected for a predetermined time or more). A control signal for switching to the running mode and a control signal for reducing or stopping the engine output are output to the drive control unit 17. The drive control unit 17 suppresses the exhaust gas by switching to the motor travel mode, reducing the engine output, or stopping the engine.

  Although environmental standards such as mountainous areas are not strict, the radio wave condition may be poor. In such a case, it is preferable to monitor channel information of a broadcasting station such as a television in advance. As the current location can be roughly estimated by channel information or combination of channels, or when the channel information changes, that is, where the radio wave area of the broadcasting station changes often in mountainous areas such as prefectural borders, If this is the case, the engine running mode should be continued.

  Note that the threshold list shown in FIG. 11 may be appropriately modified by the user. In the vehicle control device 2 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 according to the first embodiment, a section for suppressing exhaust gas using data from the position detection unit 21, for example, a signal from the GPS (radio wave intensity, number of satellites, etc.) is also provided. Needless to say, it can be judged.

  In the vehicle control device and the hybrid vehicle configured as described above, even when the map data is not updated and is outdated, or even when the map data is incomplete, the motor travel mode Therefore, a vehicle control device and a hybrid vehicle that control the driving mode and engine output in consideration of the environment can be obtained. In addition, since a radio or the like of a normal vehicle can be used without a car navigation system, it can be configured at low cost.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
The vehicle control device and the hybrid vehicle according to the first and second embodiments have changed the motor travel mode and the like by estimating the specific section and the place where the exhaust gas is likely to stay from the radio wave state. In the third embodiment, a vehicle control device and a hybrid vehicle that perform traveling while appropriately suppressing exhaust gas by detecting vehicle periphery information by providing a vehicle periphery detection unit such as a sensor will be described.

The vehicle control device 4 illustrated in FIG. 12 includes a vehicle periphery detection unit 40 that detects vehicle periphery information. This may be, for example, a sensor such as a CO ₂ sensor, a NOx sensor, or a dust sensor, or an in-vehicle camera. When sensor information is used, for example, when a certain threshold value as shown in FIG. 13 is exceeded, or when a state exceeding the threshold value continues for a predetermined time or more, it is understood that this section is a place where exhaust gas tends to stay. Therefore, the vehicle control unit 41 outputs a control signal for switching to the motor travel mode or performing a reduction or stop of the engine output to the drive control unit 17. The drive control unit 17 suppresses the exhaust gas by switching to the motor travel mode, reducing the engine output, or stopping the engine.

  When the vehicle periphery detection unit 40 is an in-vehicle camera, the vehicle control unit 41 first analyzes an image of the vehicle periphery from the camera. When there are fences and walls around a vehicle such as a parking lot and a certain threshold value as shown in FIG. 13 is satisfied, for example, this place is often a closed place where exhaust gas is likely to stay. Also, when the in-vehicle front camera recognizes the tunnel, if the tunnel exit is not visible or the exit size is below a certain threshold, this is also a place where exhaust gas tends to stay. . In such a case, the vehicle control unit 41 outputs a control signal for switching to the motor travel mode or for reducing or stopping the engine output to the drive control unit 17. The drive control unit 17 suppresses the exhaust gas by switching to the motor travel mode, reducing the engine output, or stopping the engine.

Note that the threshold list shown in FIG. 13 may be appropriately modified by the user. Further, the vehicle control devices having the configurations of the first to third embodiments may be appropriately combined. For example, a car navigation and an in-vehicle camera or sensor may be combined, a radio and an in-vehicle camera may be combined, or a car navigation, a radio and a sensor may be combined. By these, exhaust gas can be suppressed more appropriately.

  In the vehicle control device and the hybrid vehicle configured as described above, since the vehicle periphery detection unit can determine the state of the vehicle periphery, the vehicle control device and the hybrid in consideration of the environment can be determined. A vehicle is obtained.
