Title:
VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/021460
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An ECU (100) is mounted on a vehicle provided with first to third motors. Each of the first to third motors is provided with a rotor comprising a field coil, and a field control circuit and a switch formed on a closed circuit containing the field coil. The ECU (100) comprises an operation-necessity evaluation unit (110), and a field current control unit (120). The operation-necessity evaluation unit (110) evaluates whether the first to third motors need to be run, and when a motor that does not need to be run exists, information indicating the motor is outputted to the field current control unit (120). Upon receiving information about the motor that does not need to be run from the operation-necessity evaluation unit (110), the field current control unit (120) executes control such that a switch corresponding to the field coil of the motor that does not need to be run is opened, as necessary.
