摘要:
A shift is implemented from the control for elevating the braking force to the control for retaining the braking force when deceleration of the wheel exceeds a first predetermined threshold value when the wheels are braked. The first predetermined threshold value is so set as to become smaller as an assumed road surface friction coefficient .mu. is smaller. The first threshold value is further altered to a larger value by altering the assumed road surface friction coefficient .mu. to a higher one when the period of time required from the start of the control for elevating the braking force to the start of the following control for retaining the braking force is equal to or shorter than a predetermined period of time.

Slip control is carried out so as to reduce torque applied to the driven wheels by reducing torque generated by the engine when a slip value against the driven wheels on pavement is larger than a predetermined value. A shift characteristic of the automatic transmission interposed between the engine and the driven wheels is set as a first shift characteristic which is a basic characteristic at the time of ordinary running where no slip control is carried out and as a second shift characteristic set so as to become at least unlikely to cause downshifting during slip control compared with said first shift characteristic. As the slip control terminates, a return of the first shift characteristic is prohibited when the torque generated by the engine is large (for example, when a degree of operation of an accelerator is not zero) or when downshifting is caused if based on the first shift characteristics.

A traction control device operates to determine the speed of each of the left and right drive wheels of a vehicle, determine the speed of each of the left and right passive wheels of the vehicle, calculate the actual slip rate of the drive wheels of the vehicle directly based on the measurements of the speeds for the drive and passive wheels, establish a target slip rate and control the driving condition of the vehicle by making the actual slip rate equal the target slip rate. The actual slip rate is matched to the target slip rate by controlling engine output and braking power. The step of controlling the driving condition of the vehicle by controlling the engine output and the braking power is carried out according to the time differential of the difference between the actual slip rate and the target slip rate at least until the actual slip rate matches the target slip rate for the first time. After the actual slip rate has matched the target slip rate at least once, the step of controlling is carried out according to the proportion of the difference between the actual and the target slip rates.
摘要:
The braking force to the driven wheels is subjected to feedback control so as to allow the actual slip value of the driven wheels to agree with a predetermined target value for controlling the brake. The control amount for the feedback control is determined by differentiation control. The feedback control amount contains a first control amount corresponding to a predetermined basic travelling state and a second control amount corresponding to a particular travelling state. In ordinary travelling state, the braking force is controlled by the first control amount, and the braking force is controlled by the second control amount when the automotive vehicle is travelling in such a particular state. When the the vehicle is travelling on a bad road, the second control amount is set so as to loosen the braking force, as compared with the first control amount. Alternatively, when the vehicle is cornering, the second control amount is set as to tighten the braking force as compared with the first control amount.
摘要:
An assumed vehicle body speed is determined on the basis of the wheel speed detected by a wheel speed sensor for each wheel and a slip value indicating the tendency of locking the wheel is determined for a predetermined wheel speed on the basis of the assumed vehicle body speed and a wheel speed of the predetermined wheel. The braking force is controlled on the basis of the slip value. When no braking force is controlled and when at least one of the wheel speeds for all the wheels detected by the wheel speed sensors is larger than the assumed vehicle body speed previously determined, a new assumed vehicle body speed which follows is inhibited from being renewed to a larger value and the new assumed vehicle body speed is set as a value equal to the previous assumed vehicle body speed.

A traction control system for a motor vehicle having driving wheels and driven wheels includes a device for detecting the speed of each of the driving wheels of the vehicle, a device for detecting the speed of each of the driven wheels of the vehicle, a device for calculating a slip value of the driving wheels based on the detected speeds of the driving and driven wheels, a traction control device for controlling the driving wheel so that the slip value of each driving wheel is equal to a predetermined desired slip value when the slip value of each driving wheel is greater than the predetermined desired slip value, and a device for estimating a friction coefficient of a road surface which is employed when the predetermined desired slip value is determined. If slip of the driving wheel occurs when the vehicle is started, the estimating device calculates an acceleration of the driving wheel. The friction coefficient of the road surface is estimated based on an engine output when the acceleration of the driving wheel is greater than a predetermined value.

The estimating device calculates, in a first predetermined time period immediately after the traction control is started, an acceleration of the driven wheel based on a speed difference of the driven wheel during a second predetermined time period and an acceleration of the driven wheel based on a speed difference of the driven wheel during a third predetermined time period after the first predetermined time period has passed. The estimating device then estimates the friction coefficient of the road surface by using the calculated acceleration of the driven wheel.

When a slip value of the driven wheel of a vehicle on a road surface reaches a predetermined value, the braking force is applied to the driven wheel by way of slip control. The slip control by application of the braking force to the driven wheel is inhibited when the vehicle speed reaches a high speed above a predetermined vehicle speed.
