Patent ID: 11465509

Abstract:
A vehicle control apparatus includes a generator, a brake system, first and second sensors, first and second deceleration rate setting units, and a power generation torque controller. The first deceleration rate setting unit sets, when a first control mode that decelerates a vehicle on the basis of a brake operation performed by an occupant is executed, an allowable deceleration rate upon deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of a brake operation amount. The second deceleration rate setting unit sets, when a second control mode that decelerates the vehicle on the basis of a situation ahead of the vehicle is executed, the allowable deceleration rate upon deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of a brake fluid pressure. The power generation torque controller controls power generation torque of the generator on the basis of the allowable deceleration rate that is set by the first or second deceleration rate setting unit.
