Abstract:
A choke valve is controlled finely suited to the running state of an engine. A throttle valve 8 and a choke valve 9 are provided in series on an intake pipe 6, and the opening degree of the choke valve 9 is controlled by a stepping motor. The choke valve opening degree upon start of engine (start opening degree) is determined depending on the engine temperature. The stepping motor 11 is initialized at the fully closed side of the choke valve 9 when the power source for starting the engine is turned on. The start opening degree of the choke valve is judged to be closer to the fully closed side or fully opened side, and the stepping motor 11 is initialized at the fully closed side if judged to be close to the fully closed side, and at the fully opened side if at the fully opened side.
Abstract:
A braking control device performs a steering and/or avoidance possibility determination based on the state of the vehicle to execute automatic vehicle braking when an obstacle in front of the vehicle cannot be avoided by steering and/or braking. The device determines that the obstacle can be avoided by steering when the correlation value between steering avoidance time and relative velocity is smaller than the distance from the vehicle to the obstacle. The steering avoidance time is set to a shorter value when the suspension characteristic is stiffer and the sideways force generated by the front wheels is larger. The steering avoidance time is set successively shorter for low, high, and medium speed travel regions, respectively, to reflect the behavior response characteristic of the vehicle with respect to steering input. The vehicle deceleration that would occur if the driver released the accelerator pedal is considered in the braking avoidance possibility determination.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains a method and a system for controlling a stand-by braking torque applied to an automotive vehicle under a condition of approaching or following an obstacle preceding the vehicle, the automotive vehicle having a powering system for applying a driving torque to the vehicle in response to an operator power demand. A brake controller executes a series of instructions for determining a variable indicative of dynamic situation of the vehicle, for sampling the determined values of the dynamic situation indicative variable immediately before an operator braking action to reduce the speed of the vehicle is imminent, for using the sampled values of the dynamic situation indicative variable as a basis to establish a parameter, and for using the established parameter as a basis to determine a target value of stand-by braking torque.
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling speed of a vehicle include determining whether or not a stand-by braking torque is applied, determining an actual distance from a preceding vehicle in front of a vehicle, comparing the actual distance to a desired distance to determine whether the actual distance is greater than the desired distance, determining motor/engine torque to increase vehicle speed, and applying the motor/engine torque when the actual distance is greater than the desired distance. The system and method terminates application of stand-by braking torque upon receiving operator torque request.
Abstract:
In order to prevent a traction control system and an auxiliary steering or the like from combining stabilizing effects in a manner which causes excessive understeer, when the traction control is functioning in a predetermined manner, a signal is issued to the auxiliary steering control and reduces the gain with which the control thereof is implemented. As a result excessive understeer is avoided while maintaining suitable vehicle stability.
Abstract:
An apparatus for use with an automotive vehicle for controlling movement of a throttle valve in response to a change of the position of an accelerator pedal. A control circuit receives electrical signals indicative of accelerator-pedal and throttle-valve positions for calculating a value corresponding to a setting of the position of the throttle valve. The control circuit is connected to an actuator which moves the throttle valve to the calculated setting. The control circuit decreases the speed of closing movement of the throttle valve when the throttle valve position is at an angle less than a reference angle.
Abstract:
The degassing apparatus removes liquid from a vacuum tank (1) with a suction pump (6) and supplies that liquid to a storage tank (9), sprays storage tank liquid into the vacuum tank through a convergent nozzle (7), removes gas from liquid in a state of reduced pressure inside the vacuum tank, and stores the degassed liquid in the storage tank. The storage tank is an airtight hermetically sealed tank provided with a reduced pressure retaining valve that discharges gas accumulated inside the storage tank.
