Abstract

A control system includes: a plurality of sub-power managers that control respective output power of a plurality of subsystems that actualize functions of the vehicle; and an integrated power manager that performs integrated control of output power in the overall vehicle by exchanging information with the plurality of sub-power managers. The information that is exchanged between the plurality of sub-power managers and the integrated power manager includes information that enables calculation of a physical quantity that is expressed by at least either of a power dimension and an energy dimension. The plurality of subsystems respectively corresponds to a plurality of domains that each include one or more apparatuses and a storage unit. The integrated power manager plans a stored energy quantity of the storage unit in each of the domains that respectively correspond to the plurality of sub-power managers.
