Abstract
A controller for driving a motor in a motor driven vehicle, provided with: a detection part, a control coefficient computing part, and a control part. The control coefficient computing part identifies, as a first vehicle speed, the speed of the vehicle when the detection part detects a start signal for regeneration control, the control coefficient computing part assigning a prescribed value to a control coefficient that determines a value of a control parameter that controls the motor relative to a target value of the control parameter. The target value is a value of the control parameter at which the motor achieves a desired power generation efficiency, and the control coefficient computing part increases the control coefficient if a current vehicle speed becomes faster than the first vehicle speed, and decreases the control coefficient if the current vehicle speed becomes slower than the first vehicle speed.
