A method of controlling a vehicle driving system having differential gear
including an input shaft, an outlet shaft and a reactionary shaft, a
flywheel, an engine, the flywheel and the engine being interlocked with
the input shaft, an output shaft interlocked with the outlet shaft, a
first motor generator (MG) interlocked with the reactionary shaft and a
second MG adapted to receive the output electric power of the first MG as
input. If the indicated torque of the output shaft as indicated by the
pedaled quantity of the accelerator pedal is T2 and a torque of the
reactionary shaft is Trd, while a power transmission efficiency from the
input shaft to the reactionary shaft by way of the differential gear, a
power transmission efficiency from the input shaft to the output shaft by
way of the differential gear and a power transmission efficiency from the
reactionary shaft to the output shaft by way of the first MG and the
second MG are respectively .eta.mr, .eta.mo and .eta.e, a critical speed
ratio of the differential gear, a rotational speed of the output shaft
and that of the flywheel are respectively ec, N2 and Nf, the torque Trd
is determined by the relation of
Trd=(ec-1).times.T2.times..eta.mr/[{.eta.mo-(.eta.mr.times..eta.e)}+{(ec.-
times.Nf/N2).times..eta.mr.times..eta.e}] and generation of electric power
of the first MG is controlled so as to cause the reactionary shaft to
produce the torque Trd.
