    摘要: An apparatus (10) for controlling the road speed of a motor vehicle has an accelerator pedal (12), which is biased counter to its actuating direction into an inoperative position and is movable from the inoperative position into a neutral position, from which a further movement of the accelerator pedal (12) counter to the spring bias leads to an increase of the drive torque of the motor vehicle drive. A device for detecting the inoperative position of the accelerator pedal (12) is connected to a braking-force generator (40) and in the inoperative position of the accelerator pedal (12) causes the braking-force generator (40) to make a predetermined braking force available. In order to make the apparatus (10) more comfortable, according to an alternative the braking-force generator (40) builds up the predetermined braking force in a controlled manner when the accelerator pedal (12) attains its inoperative position, and/or reduces the built-up braking force in a controlled manner when the accelerator pedal (12) leaves its inoperative position. According to another alternative, the device for detecting the inoperative position of the accelerator pedal (12), upon a movement of the accelerator pedal (12) from the inoperative position into the neutral position, causes the braking-force generator (40) to reduce the predetermined braking force in accordance with the accelerator pedal movement and vice versa.

    摘要: A vehicle traction control apparatus and method where an amount of pressure change of braking pressure is based on the amount of acceleration slip and the wheel acceleration. When the traction control is being performed and the braking force is being increased, an upper limit pressure increase amount of braking pressure is based on the engine revolution speed, and the estimated braking pressure, so that the calculated value is smaller if the revolution speed or the estimated braking pressure is greater. The upper limit pressure increase amount of braking pressure is corrected so that it is greater if the speed reduction ratio of the transmission is smaller. If the amount of pressure change of requested braking pressure is excessively high, and the amount of increase in braking pressure needs to be limited, the amount of pressure change of braking pressure is limited to the corrected upper limit pressure increase amount.

    摘要: A control system, which creates a neutral condition if a vehicle is stationary with the brake of the vehicle being actuated and the accelerator for the engine being turned off while the transmission is set in a drive range, is equipped with a brake switch (36), which detects the operational condition of the brake, and a output rotation sensor (40), which detects the rotational speed of the output member of the transmission. If the control system detects the rotation of the output member by the output rotation sensor (40), then the control system terminates the neutral condition in spite of the operational condition of the brake, which is detected by the brake switch (36).

    摘要: A shift control and shift strategy for an automatic transmission in an automotive vehicle driveline wherein the automatic ratio shift schedule can be disabled selectively to accommodate a manual ratio shift control. A driver-operated mode selection switch permits the operator to select normal automatic ratio control or a launch-assist mode during operation in the normal ratio shift mode. Ratio changes occur in response to driveline operating variables in a vehicle launch-assist mode. The transmission control system is commanded to effect a high speed ratio when the vehicle is stationary with the brakes applied. The operating mode defaults to a normal ratio shift mode as the operator releases the wheel brakes. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the control includes multiple enable switches for achieving manual selection of the ratios when a manual upshift sequence is desired.

    摘要: A bi-directional back stopping clutch is provided having a hollow outer race, or drum, disposed about a first axis. The outer race includes a radially inner friction surface. The clutch also includes an input member rotatably supported within the outer race and first and second brake shoes disposed within the outer race and in engagement with the input member. Each of the brake shoes includes one or more arcuate surfaces corresponding to the inner surface of the outer race with each arcuate surface defining a slot. The clutch further includes an output pin having a first portion disposed between the first and second brake shoes and a second portion disposed within an opening of an output member. Finally, the inventive clutch includes a hardened insert disposed within each of the slots in the arcuate surfaces of the brakes shoes. The inserts each include a groove formed therein which channels a lubricant within the clutch away from the frictional interface of the insert and the inner surface of the outer race.

    摘要: A brake negative pressure control apparatus and method, and an engine control unit for an internal combustion engine are provided for ensuring a negative pressure within a brake booster and a stable combustion while avoiding a complicated control. The brake negative pressure control apparatus comprises a negative pressure sensor for detecting a negative pressure within the brake booster, and an ECU for disabling the combustion mode to be set to the stratified combustion when the detected negative pressure is lower than a first predetermined negative pressure. The ECU controls a throttle valve opening in accordance with a target throttle valve opening in a homogeneous combustion mode when the ECU disables the combustion mode to be set to the stratified combustion.
