Abstract
A control unit that controls a travelling state and an air conditioning state of a vehicle includes: a drive control unit performing a vehicle speed control and a power train control, the vehicle speed control selectively executing an acceleration operation where an engine mounted on the vehicle is operated and a deceleration operation where the engine is stopped to allow the vehicle to coast, the power train control selectively executing activation or deactivation of the engine; m and an air conditioning control unit that controls an air conditioning system provided in the vehicle to execute an air conditioning control. A content of control is changed for at least one of the vehicle speed control, the power train control and the air-conditioning control while the air conditioning system is operating, compared to a case where the air conditioning system is not operating.
