SOLUTION: A drive control device for vehicle is provided with an engine electronic control device (ECU) 6, a CVTECU 7, an electronic throttle 3, a continuously variable transmission(CVT) 5 for transmitting the rotation of a crank shaft 9 to a drivi...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operation feeling while improving the acceleration feeling by restricting the idling feeling (stalling feeling) at the time of acceleration while preventing the generation of shock when engaging a clutch. SOLUTION: A clutch 21 is interposed between an engine output shaft and a transmission input shaft. A target engine speed setting means 4 sets the rotating spe...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent generation of strong speed reduction feeling without an intention of a driver by changing the size of driving force according to stepping of a brake pedal when stepping of an accelerator pedal is released at prescribed speed or below and reducing driving force as compared with driving force when stepping of the brake pedal is released when the brake pedal is steppe...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To switch the driving force to the weak condition when stopping a vehicle while restricting the instantaneous backward movement when a brake pedal is operated. SOLUTION: Even in the condition that the operation of an acceleration pedal is released at the predetermined car speed or less, the driving force is transmitted from a motor to driving wheels in the case where a travel...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve starting of a vehicle by actuating one of power sources when the other is not available. SOLUTION: This drive control system is provided with an input clutch for selectively transmitting an output torque of a first driving force source to a wheel and a second driving force source for outputting a drive torque to the wheel using no input clutch. When the vehicle mak...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drive control system for improving fuel efficiency by suppressing actuation of the driving source during braking for improving starting response and for preventing reverse running of the vehicle caused by releasing the brake on the upslope with high gradient without deteriorating the effect for improving the fuel efficiency. SOLUTION: The driving sources (engine ...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit driving without shock and deterioration of engine torque even when an air-fuel ratio is changed abruptly, by determining, only for a certain period, a fuel supply amount according to an accelerator pedal operation amount and a speed when an engine operation is changed between one with a lean air-fuel ratio and one with non-lean air-fuel ratio. SOLUTION: A basic fuel...
