- the target vehicle deceleration determining means 94 determines the free-run start target vehicle deceleration Grdt based on the gradient of the travel path.
- the vehicle deceleration during inertial traveling changes according to the gradient of the travel path. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately determine whether or not to execute the free-run control as compared with a case where the gradient of the travel path is not taken into consideration.
- the free-run start target vehicle deceleration Grdt decreases as the descending slope of the travel path increases.
- the greater the descending slope of the travel path the easier the vehicle 8 is accelerated by the slope, so the driver does not expect a large vehicle deceleration. Therefore, it is possible to determine the free-run start target vehicle deceleration Grdt in accordance with the feeling of deceleration that the driver expects on a downhill traveling road.
- the target vehicle deceleration determination means 94 does not depend on the predetermined relationship shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 when the travel path on which the vehicle 8 travels is an uphill.
- the free-run start target vehicle deceleration Grdt is determined to be the same value as the free-run estimated vehicle deceleration GFrd estimated by the vehicle deceleration estimation means 92.
- the vehicle deceleration difference DGrd becomes zero, and it is determined that the absolute value of the vehicle deceleration difference DGrd is smaller than the deceleration difference determination value DG1rd.
- the free-run control is easily performed as compared with the case where the travel path is not an uphill slope.
- the vehicle 8 decelerates due to the uphill in addition to the rolling resistance and air resistance of the wheels. It is difficult for the driver to feel uncomfortable that the feeling of deceleration is poor. Therefore, it is possible to improve fuel efficiency by positively executing the free run control while suppressing the uncomfortable feeling caused by the free run control on an uphill traveling road.
- the vehicle deceleration determination means 96 assumes that the target vehicle deceleration Grdt at the start of free run is the vehicle deceleration before the start of free run control during the inertia running, and the free run It may be determined whether or not to execute control. If so, the free-run start target vehicle deceleration Grdt for determining whether to execute the free-run control is detected by detecting the vehicle deceleration before the free-run control is started.

Then, based on the vehicle speed V and the gradient of the travel path, a predetermined motor deceleration target vehicle deceleration that is a vehicle deceleration target value for determining the motor torque Tmg corresponding to the vehicle braking force of the motor MG. Determine Grdmgt.
- the target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt for electric motor control is the target at the start of the free run in that it is experimentally determined in advance so as to obtain a vehicle deceleration that provides a deceleration feeling expected by the driver during inertial driving. This is the same as the vehicle deceleration Grdt, except that the vehicle speed V that is the basis for the determination and the acquisition timing of the gradient of the travel path are after the start of the free-run control.
- the target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt for motor control is the target vehicle deceleration during the free-run control.

This is a case where the gradient is higher than a predetermined gradient enough to feel the gradient resistance.
- the motor torque control unit 168 determines that the actual vehicle deceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 72 is the motor control target.
- Vehicle deceleration control for controlling the motor torque Tmg so as to approach the vehicle deceleration Grdmgt is executed.
- the electric motor torque Tmg corresponds to the vehicle braking force of the electric motor MG.

It is determined based on V. After SB3, the process proceeds to SB4.
- SB4 it is determined whether or not the gradient of the traveling path acquired in SB2 is an uphill, that is, whether or not the traveling path is an uphill. If the determination in SB4 is affirmative, that is, if the gradient of the travel path is an upward gradient, the process proceeds to SB5. On the other hand, if the determination at SB4 is negative, the operation proceeds to SB6.
- the case where the gradient of the travel path is determined to be an upward slope in SB4 may be a case where the gradient of the travel path is larger than zero with the upward direction as the positive direction. This is a case where the driver has an ascending gradient that is equal to or greater than a predetermined gradient (upward is a positive direction) that allows the driver to feel the gradient resistance while the vehicle is traveling.
- the target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt for motor control determined in SB3 is corrected according to the fact that the gradient of the travel path is an upward gradient. Specifically, the actual actual vehicle deceleration is detected by the acceleration sensor 72, and the motor control target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt is corrected to the same value as the detected actual vehicle deceleration. After SB5, the process proceeds to SB8.
- the case where the gradient of the travel road is determined to be a downward slope in SB6 may be a case where the slope of the travel road is greater than zero with the downward direction as a positive direction. This is a case where the driver has a downward gradient equal to or greater than a predetermined gradient (downward is a positive direction) to the extent that the driver can feel that the gradient resistance is smaller than that of a flat ground during vehicle travel. If the determination at SB6 is affirmative, that is, if the gradient of the travel path is a downward gradient, the process proceeds to SB7. On the other hand, if the determination at SB6 is negative, the operation proceeds to SB8.
- the motor control target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt determined in SB3 is corrected according to the fact that the gradient of the travel path is a downward gradient. More specifically, the vertical axis in FIG. 5 is replaced with the target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt for motor control, and according to the predetermined relationship of FIG. The target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt for motor control determined in SB3 is corrected so that the target vehicle deceleration Grdmgt becomes smaller.
- SB2 to SB7 correspond to the target vehicle deceleration determination means 166.
- the vehicle deceleration control is executed. For example, in the vehicle deceleration control, an actual vehicle deceleration is detected by the acceleration sensor 72, and a difference obtained by subtracting the actual vehicle deceleration from the target motor deceleration Grdmgt for motor control is calculated. Then, the motor torque Tmg is controlled so that the calculated difference approaches zero.
