Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A dynamic threshold value when an engine, an automatic transmission and the like are in a transition state is calculated in accordance with a static threshold value determined based on a state where the engine, the automatic transmission and the like are stabilized. The engine and the automatic transmission are controlled in accordance with a result of comparison between target drive force or target engine torque and the dynamic threshold value.
