    摘要: The leading-vehicle detection apparatus, mounted on a sensing vehicle, radiates a laser beam from a transmitter of a laser radar. The laser beam is reflected by objects including any vehicle in front of the sensing vehicle, and is received by a receiver in the laser radar. The distances between the vehicle and the objects are calculated based on a comparison of the radiated laser beam and the reflected, received laser beam. The calculated distances are stored corresponding to the sweeping positions of the laser beam. Relative speeds between the vehicle and the objects are calculated from the variations over time in the distances. Based on the relative speeds, only the distance information for objects moving at almost the same speed as the sensing vehicle is selected. On the other hand, comparison patterns of inherent vehicular characteristics are stored beforehand. The selected distance information is compared with the comparison patterns. Information matching the comparison patterns is selected. Through this pattern-matching process, distance information for only the leading vehicle is quickly selected. Distance information for a guardrail, a center line, or other objects that are mistaken for moving objects is eliminated.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for controlling an electromagnetic clutch which is incorporated in a power transmission system of a vehicle to transmit an output of an engine to drive wheels, and which includes a solenoid to be energized for an engaging action of the electromagnetic clutch to transmit a torque of the engine to the drive wheels, the torque to be transmitted by the clutch being varied as a function of an electric current to energize the solenoid. The method of apparatus comprises: a step or device for determining a target speed of the engine during a period of the engagement action of the electromagnetic clutch, based on a required output of the engine, and according to a predetermined relation between the target speed and required output of the engine; a step or device for controlling a magnitude of the electric current applied to the solenoid during the period of engagement of the clutch, such that an actual speed of the engine coincides with the determined target speed of the engine, and thereby applying the controlled magnitude of electric current to the solenoid to control the torque to be transmitted by the electromagnetic clutch.

    摘要: The ignition timing of an engine is changed by a predetermined value to cause fluctuations in torque to an output shaft of the engine. Vibrations caused by the fluctuations in torque to an engine block are detected and the ignition timing is controlled so that the vibrations can be reduced to the minimum. Thus, the ignition timing of the engine can be controlled to the optimum condition so that the engine can be operated at the highest condition at all times.
