Abstract
A vehicle controller includes: an engine controller configured to perform an IS control upon satisfaction of a predetermined stop condition and an engine restart control upon satisfaction of a predetermined restart condition; an HDC controller configured to perform, when the vehicle is traveling on a downhill road and a deceleration request according to an HDC control occurs, a target vehicle speed-based deceleration irrespective of brake operations by the driver; and an information acquisition part configured to acquire progress status information related to the engine restart control and including information on initiation and completion thereof. When an engine restart request according to the IS control and the deceleration request according to the HDC control occur in a temporally overlapping manner, while the engine controller performs the engine restart control in a prioritized manner, the HDC controller allows performing the target vehicle speed-based deceleration on the basis of the progress status information.
