    摘要: A powertrain system for an electric automobile outputs a desired torque from a motor with an angle of an accelerator pedal that is easy for a driver to operate, regardless of traveling environments such as the road surface gradient and the wind direction. The powertrain system includes a paddle switch and a shifter that are mounted to be operable by a driver, and are electrically connected directly or indirectly to an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU controls, based on a torque control map defining the relationship between an accelerator pedal opening and output torque of a motor in advance, the output torque of the motor according to the accelerator pedal opening, and changes, based on an operation on the paddle switch or the shifter, the torque control map to be used for controlling the output torque of the motor.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a transportation system for urban mass transit that employs an array of narrow, elevated towers supporting stationary electrified cables. Self-propelled gondolas equipped with electric motors and regenerative braking systems traverse these cables, transporting passengers between various ground-level stations. The gondolas are capable of attaching to and detaching from the cables via an automated mechanism controlled by an onboard computer. The system is modular, allowing for scalable adaptation to urban environments and incorporates solar panels for energy generation. The system's design minimizes urban land use, offering an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional mass transit systems.
