Abstract
A stopping position control apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes an engine friction model for calculating the friction around a crankshaft, which calculates friction in the internal combustion engine, and a transmission friction model for calculating the friction around the crankshaft, which calculates friction in a transmission. When a clutch arranged between the internal combustion engine and the transmission is engaged, a crankshaft stopping position is calculated based on the friction calculated by both the engine friction model and the transmission friction model.
