Abstract:
A control device for a vehicle includes a driver request torque detection unit that detects a driver request torque, a restriction torque calculation unit that calculates a restriction torque being smaller than the driver request torque based on an external request, a corrected torque calculation unit that calculates a corrected torque being greater than the restriction torque, and an engine control unit that controls positions of a throttle valve and an exhaust bypass valve. The engine control unit controls the positions of the throttle valve and the exhaust bypass valve based on the driver request torque during an ordinary drive, and if a prescribed drive condition is satisfied, the engine control unit controls the position of the throttle valve based on the restriction torque and controls the position of the exhaust bypass valve based on the corrected torque.

Claim (Index 1):
A control device for a vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine that has an intake passage and an exhaust passage which are connected to a combustion chamber, a throttle valve disposed in the intake passage, a turbocharger having an exhaust gas turbine which is disposed in the exhaust passage and driven by an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage and a compressor which is disposed in the intake passage and supercharges intake air to be supplied to the combustion chamber, and an exhaust bypass valve for opening or closing an exhaust bypass passage that connects portions, upstream of and downstream of the exhaust gas turbine, of the exhaust passage, the control device comprising:\n a driver request torque detection unit that detects a driver request torque which is an engine output torque requested by a driver; a restriction torque calculation unit that calculates a restriction torque which is smaller than the driver request torque based on an external request; a corrected torque calculation unit that calculates a corrected torque which is greater than the restriction torque; and an engine control unit that controls a position of the throttle valve and a position of the exhaust bypass valve, wherein the engine control unit controls the position of the throttle valve and the position of the exhaust bypass valve based on the driver request torque during an ordinary drive of the vehicle, and if a prescribed drive condition is satisfied, the engine control unit controls the position of the throttle valve based on the restriction torque and controls the position of the exhaust bypass valve based on the corrected torque.
