That is, it corresponds to any of the cases where the operation on the brake pedal is detected, the operation on the accelerator pedal is not detected, the VDC is operating, the TCS is operating, and the ABS is operating. Then, since it is assumed that the calculated value of the angular acceleration A includes an error, it is determined that the estimated state of the road noise value is not appropriate.

In particular, in the present embodiment, correction is performed so that the angular acceleration dispersion value var_A decreases as the vehicle speed v or the steering angle ⁇ increases.
- the wheel 7 slips slightly as compared with the case where the steering operation is not performed. Therefore, when the wheel 7 gets over the convex portion on an uneven road surface, the wheel 7 is used.
- the variance of the angular acceleration A tends to be larger than expected. Therefore, when the steering operation is performed, the angular acceleration dispersion value var_A is corrected to be reduced according to the magnitude of the vehicle speed v from the viewpoint of maintaining the estimation accuracy of the road noise value.

That is, the control unit distance d u is defined as a value obtained by multiplying the vehicle speed v by the calculation period ⁇ t, and is a variable amount according to the magnitude of the vehicle speed v.
- step S320 the sound vibration start determination unit 26 calculates the road surface determination integrated mileage D. Specifically, first, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 acquires the total mileage of the vehicle 100 from the start of the vehicle 100 (for example, the timing when the ignition switch is turned on) to the current control cycle. Then, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 travels at the time of proper estimation, which is the distance traveled by the vehicle 100 with the appropriate estimation flag f op set to "1" from the start of the vehicle 100 to the current control cycle. Calculate the distance. More specifically, the sound start determination unit 26 oscillation, by multiplying the proper estimation flag f op the control unit distance is the control number that is set to "1" d u, obtains the road-integrated travel distance D.
- step S330 the sound vibration start determination unit 26 calculates the rough road running integrated distance D ba. Specifically, in the sound vibration start determination unit 26, the appropriate estimation flag f op is set to "1" and the road surface level Le is set to "3" or "4" from the start of the vehicle 100 to the current control cycle. By multiplying the set number of controls by the control unit distance d u , the total distance traveled on rough roads D ba is obtained.
- step S340 the sound vibration start determination unit 26 calculates the rough road continuation rate R bc. Specifically, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 divides the rough road travel integrated distance D ba by the road surface determination integrated travel distance D to obtain the rough road continuation rate R bc .
- the sound vibration start determination unit 26 has a rough road continuation rate R bc equal to or higher than a predetermined rough road continuation rate threshold R bc_th in a state where the vehicle 100 has traveled over a predetermined specified mileage D _th. It is determined whether or not it has become. Specifically, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 calculates the specified mileage D _th by multiplying the predetermined number of controls by the control unit distance d u. Then, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 determines whether or not the rough road continuation rate R bc becomes equal to or greater than the rough road continuation rate threshold value R bc_th during the control cycle during traveling during the specified mileage D _ th.

It is set to a suitable value from the viewpoint of determining whether or not it is.
- the rough road continuation rate threshold value R bc_th is set from the viewpoint of determining whether or not the operation time of the engine 1 becomes long and the fuel consumption is lowered when the operation of the sound vibration start control is enabled. More specifically, a state in which the erroneous determination that the vehicle 100 is traveling on a "rough road” is maintained for a certain period or more and the operation of the sound vibration start control is effective (the engine 1 is easy to start or difficult to stop). As the state) continues, it is assumed that the battery SOC rises and the engine 1 is frequently started and stopped. Therefore, the rough road continuation rate threshold value R bc_th is set to a suitable value from the viewpoint of suppressing such a situation.

That is, when it is determined that the estimated state of the road noise value is not appropriate in this control cycle, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 calculates the road surface determination integrated mileage D in step S320 and the bad road in step S330. The rough road continuation rate R bc is calculated without executing the calculation of the total travel distance D ba.
- the distance related to the travel can be excluded from the calculation target of the road surface determination integrated mileage D, and the calculation is performed. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of the rough road continuation rate R bc. More specifically, the distance in the state where the estimated state of the road noise value is not appropriate is added to the road surface determination integrated mileage D, so that the rough road continuation rate R bc is calculated lower than the expected value, resulting in an error. The phenomenon of switching between operation and non-operation of the sound vibration start control based on the determination is suppressed.
- the sound vibration start determination unit 26 resets the road surface determination integrated mileage D calculated in step S320 to 0 in the control cycle after the deactivation flag f no is switched from "1" to "0". It is preferable that it is configured to do so. As a result, in the scene where the vehicle 100 travels a relatively long distance from the start, the road surface determination integrated mileage D becomes a large value, and the evil obtained by dividing the rough road travel integrated distance D ba by the road surface determination integrated mileage D. It is suppressed that the rate of change of the road continuation rate R bc becomes small. As a result, the accuracy of erroneous determination based on the rough road continuation rate R bc can be further improved.

Then, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 determines whether or not the good road continuation rate R gc becomes equal to or greater than the good road continuation rate threshold value R gc_th during the control cycle during traveling during the specified mileage D _th.
- the good road continuation rate R gc is a value obtained by dividing the good road travel integrated distance D gc by the road surface determination integrated travel distance D. Further, the integrated good road travel distance D gc can be calculated by multiplying the control number of times the road surface level Le is set to any of "0" to "2" by the control unit distance d u. The good road continuation rate R gc may be obtained by subtracting the bad road continuation rate R bc obtained in step S340 from 1 (corresponding to the total road surface determination integrated mileage D).
- the good road continuation rate threshold value R gc_th determines that the good road judgment based on the road surface level Le is continued to the extent that the deactivation flag f no can be cleared (that is, the bad road driving judgment based on the erroneous judgment is made. It is set to a suitable value from the viewpoint of (determining that it has not occurred).

Is set to "0" to end this routine. That is, in this case, the sound vibration start control is switched from the invalid state to the effective state. On the other hand, when the determination result is negative, the sound vibration start determination unit 26 proceeds to step S383 and ends this routine while maintaining the deactivation flag f no.
- the sound vibration start determination unit 26 outputs the set deactivation flag f no to the start / stop flag setting unit 27.

That is, the controller 50 has a background noise state determination unit (road surface level setting unit 245) that executes the background noise state determination process and a start / stop threshold value setting unit (start / stop flag setting unit) that executes the start / stop threshold value setting process. It functions as 27).

That is, a specific control logic for determining the background noise state of the vehicle 100 is realized. Then, if the state in which the road noise value is determined to be equal to or higher than the threshold value continues, the background noise state of the vehicle 100 is determined to be the low background noise state in the subsequent control.

Judgment is made based on whether or not the value (rough road continuation rate threshold R bc_th) or more is satisfied. As a result, it is possible to determine a suitable control period for determining a low background noise state regardless of the road noise value, assuming an actual driving scene of the vehicle 100.

You may adopt the structure to judge by.
- the engine control method of the present embodiment further includes an estimation state determination step (FIG. 5) for determining whether or not the estimation state of the road noise value is an appropriate estimation state.

Then, in the background noise state determination step, the control timing determined that the estimated state is not the appropriate estimated state is excluded from the control period (No in step S300).
- the start threshold value Pr_sth and the stop threshold value Pr_eth are set so that the amount of power generation that keeps the battery SOC within an appropriate range is realized. That is, since the amount of power generation required for the amount of energy consumed when the vehicle 100 travels a certain mileage ( integral value of the required output Pr ) is determined, the operating time of the engine 1 corresponding to the amount of power generation is secured. There is a need to.
- the required power generation amount by setting both the start threshold value Pr_sth and the stop threshold value Pr_eth to be smaller than those in the low background noise state in the high background noise state.

- the rough road stop threshold value P r_ebth and the normal stop threshold value P r_euth are set to larger values as the battery SOC is higher.
- the engine 1 can be stopped so that the battery SOC does not exceed the appropriate range in both the high background noise state and the low background noise state.

- the engine stop determination step start / stop flag setting unit 27
- the required output P r is rough road stop threshold value P R_ebth
- the rough road stop flag f ben is generated (Yes in step S550 and step S570)
- the required output Pr is When it becomes equal to or less than the normal stop threshold P r_euth , the normal stop flag fuen is generated (Yes in step S460 and step S580).
- step S350 and step S360 when the state in which the background noise of the vehicle 100 is determined to be in the high background noise state continues (Yes in step S350 and step S360), the background noise of the vehicle 100 is disturbed in the later control.
- the required output P r to generate the the normal start threshold P R_suth more normal start flag f ust Yes in step S430, Yes in step S440, and step S460).
- the background noise of the vehicle 100 is determined to be in a high background noise state, the request is made regardless of the determination result of the background noise condition of the vehicle 100 in the later control.
- the output P r is less than the normal stop threshold value P R_euth typically it may be adopted to generate a stop flag f UEN.
- step S530 when the engine 1 becomes the required output P r is rough road triggering threshold P R_sbth above is started (Yes in step S530), the vehicle 100 dark stop command and the required output P r is less than the rough road stop threshold value P R_ebth regardless of the state of the noise (bad road stop flag f ben) to produce a (Yes and step of step S550 S570).

- the high background noise state is irrespective of the background noise state when the engine is stopped.
- the engine 1 will be stopped based on the rough road stop threshold P r_ebth. Therefore, although the relatively small rough road start threshold P r_sbth (for rough roads) is applied when the engine 1 is started, the relatively large normal stop threshold P r_euth (for good roads) is applied when the engine 1 is stopped. By doing so, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the start and stop of the engine 1 are frequently repeated due to the start threshold value P r_sth and the stop threshold value P r_eth approaching each other.
- the engine 1 when the engine 1 is started based on the normal start threshold value Pr_suth set in a low background noise state (especially when driving on a good road), it is higher than the normal stop threshold value Pr_euth originally assumed at the time of stoppage. Even when a small rough road start threshold value P r_sbth is applied, the start threshold value P r_sth and the stop threshold value P r_eth are separated from each other by a certain degree. Therefore, the engine 1 can be stopped by applying the rough road stop threshold P r_ebth or less or the normal stop threshold P r_euth depending on the state of the background noise of the vehicle 100 at the time of stop.
