PURPOSE: To improve a fixed-point stop accuracy by calculating a required torque for each small distance using at least drag, route gradient, and vehicle weight from a location which is ahead from a target stop point by a specific distance to the target stop point and then calculating a current command required for obtaining the needed torque to the current command of a power converter.
CONSTITUTION: An open loop I* operation part (I* is a current command to an inverter INV) O-CTR and drag operation part RUN-CAL for accurately calculating a drag γ which is one of the input data on one preparatory running are provided. In this case, a run mode becomes an I* command mode according to speed control mode → open loop. An auxiliary relay RY2 at that time is switched, for example, from RY off to RY2 on, thus accurately measuring the drag simply by running only once before formal run even in a route immediately before the stop where the drag changes and accurately stopping a vehicle at a target stop point without causing any delay due to open-loop control.
