Abstract
A vehicular control apparatus that controls an engine mounted on a vehicle includes: a generating section that generates respective required values of the engine based on quantities of state in different units of measure; an adjusting section that converts the required values into values in a common unit of measure and obtains a desired value of the engine based on the values in the common unit of measure; a control section that controls the engine based on the obtained desired value; and a determining section that determines whether the vehicle is in an idling state using respective reference values set for the quantities of state, the required values, and the desired value. One of the reference values is converted into the remaining reference values in different units of measure.
