PROPULSION UNIT FOR VEHICLE

Japanese Patent JP2002115574

A

To resolve the ingonruity feeling of a driver by compensating response delay of an output of a Rankine cycle device in a vehicle driving the driving wheels by integrating the output of an engine with the output of the Rankine cycle device.

An accelerator pedal and a throttle valve are electrically connected to each other via DBW(drive-by-wire) control device, and in increasing an accelerator opening θap, which is commanded by a driver, the throttle opening θth is made to increase by a compensation quantity Δθth over a value propertional to the accelerator opening θap so as to compensate the deficient feeling of the output caused by the responese delay of the output of the Rankine cycle device. When decreasing the accelerator opening θap, which is commanded by the driver, the throttle opening θth is made to reduce by the compensation quantity Δθth over a value proportional to the accelerator opening θap so as to compensate the exceeding feeling of the output caused by the response delay of the output of the Rankine cycle device.
