Patent ID: 7953534

Claim:
A vehicle integrated-control apparatus that is employed in a vehicle including a drive source and a stepped automatic transmission which is connected to the drive source and which changes a speed ratio in a stepwise manner; that includes multiple control systems; that sets a final control target by coordinating a control target primarily set based on an input of a driver with instruction values from the control systems; and that causes a drive control system, which is one of the control systems, to control the drive source and the stepped automatic transmission to achieve the final control target, the vehicle integrated-control apparatus comprising: a controller that calculates at least one of three ranges of control targets, which include: a first range of control targets that can be achieved at a current shift speed; a second range of control targets that can be achieved by changing the current shift speed to a currently achievable shift speed; and a third range of control targets that can be achieved without changing the current shift speed to another shift speed; wherein, the controller is configured to notify at least one of the control systems, which provide the instruction values, of the calculated range of control targets, and the controller is configured to transmit the at least one of three ranges of control targets as a signal to at least one of the control systems in real-time as shift speed and wheel speed change.
