1. A control device for an automobile with a hardware unit mounted therein and used for moving a vehicle, comprising:
a control section configured to actually control the hardware unit;
a first identification model including a first hard model obtained by modeling a dynamic characteristic of the hardware unit for simulation and a first soft model in which the control section is modeled for simulation and which is configured to receive same input information as input information input to the control section and to execute same processing as processing performed on each hardware unit by the control section on the first hard model;
a second identification model including a second hard model obtained by modeling a dynamic characteristic of the hardware unit for simulation and a second soft model in which the control section is modeled for simulation and which is configured to receive same input information as input information input to the control section and to execute same processing as processing performed on the hardware unit by the control section on the second hard mode;
a normative value calculation section configured to calculate a normative output value that is an output value serving as a norm for the hardware unit for the input information using the first identification model and an output value when no malfunction occurs in the hardware unit; and
an adjustment section configured to update a dynamic characteristic of a model of a hardware unit in the second hard model, based on the normative output value and an actual output value of the hardware unit, such that an output value of the second hard model obtained by processing of the second soft model matches the actual output value of the hardware unit,
the hardware unit including an engine having a compressor that compresses refrigerant used for air conditioning using rotation of a crank shaft,
the compressor including an output pulley connected to an engine side pulley connected to the crank shaft via a belt,
the normative value calculation section calculating a normative idle speed as engine output as a norm,
a dynamic characteristic of the engine modeled by the second hard model including a friction coefficient of the output pulley,
the adjustment section calculating an index value indicating a degree of deviation between a normative idle speed calculated by the normative value calculation section and an actual idle speed when the engine is controlled by the control section apart from an actual control of the engine performed by the control section and, when the index value is equal to or more than a preset threshold, changing a friction coefficient of the output pulley modeled by the second hard model.
