Abstract:
1. A vehicle control apparatus for controlling a vehicle equipped with a plurality of driving sources including an engine and a rotating electrical machine, the vehicle control apparatus comprising: a driver request torque command value calculating device that calculates a driver request torque command value based on driver operation information; a driving-source command value calculating device that calculates a plurality of driving-source command values used to separately control the plurality of driving sources by dividing the driver request torque command value among the plurality of driving sources; a monitor value calculating device that calculates a driver request torque monitor value and a plurality of driving-source monitor values, the driver request torque monitor value being used to monitor an abnormality in the driver request torque command value, the plurality of driving-source monitor values being used to monitor an abnormality in the plurality of driving-source command values; a driver request torque monitor margin setting device that sets a driver request torque monitor margin, the driver request torque monitor margin being used to determine the abnormality in the driver request torque command value based a driver request torque excess amount which is a difference between the driver request torque command value and the driver request torque monitor value; a driving-source monitor margin calculating device that calculates a plurality of driving-source monitor margins based on the driver request torque monitor margin, the plurality of driving-source monitor margins being used to determine the abnormality in the plurality of driving-source command values based on a plurality of driving-source excess amounts which is a difference between the plurality of driving-source command values and the plurality of driving-source monitor values; and an abnormality determining device that determines the abnormality in the plurality of driving-source command values based on the plurality of driving-source monitor margins before the driving-source command values are outputted to the driving sources without using control results obtained by actually controlling the driving sources with the driving-source command values.
