DEVICE TO CONTROL FORCE REQUIRED TO DEPRESS ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Title:

DEVICE TO CONTROL FORCE REQUIRED TO DEPRESS ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/092886

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

In order to prevent unintentional flip-flop of the accelerator pedal in the vicinity of the accelerator opening threshold at which the force required to depress an accelerator pedal is increased, the device increases the force required to depress the accelerator pedal (2) by an increase in force relative to a base force when the accelerator opening reaches a throttle opening threshold value APS1 which corresponds to the boundary with a region in which the fuel economy is poor. Even if the accelerator pedal is pushed back by the increase in the force required to depress the pedal when the accelerator opening threshold APS1 is exceeded, thereby reducing the accelerator opening, the release of the increase in force required to depress the pedal is disabled for a predetermined time ΔT1, thereby preventing unintentional flip-flop of the accelerator pedal (2).
