Apparatus and method for controlling kick down of accelerator pedal

摘要

An apparatus and a method for controlling kick down of an accelerator pedal that includes a storage device that stores information of an tendency of the driver to operate an APS while a vehicle drives, and a control device for determining an tendency of the driver to operate the accelerator pedal based on the information of the APS operation that is input from the storage device and determining a control value to transmit a control signal to an operation device.

1. A method for controlling kick down of an accelerator pedal for a vehicle, the method comprising:
storing, by a storage device, information of a tendency of a driver to operate an accelerator pedal sensor (APS) while a vehicle drives; determining, by a controller, the tendency of the driver to operate the accelerator pedal based on the stored information related to an APS operation, determining the tendency of the driver to operate the accelerator pedal as an tendency to ignore a kick down when a measured time is faster than a reference time when measuring the time to a moment an APS operation % exceeds a set A %, after setting the APS operation % as A % of a kick down arrival moment, and determining the tendency of the driver to operate the accelerator pedal as an tendency to recognize a kick down force when the measured time is slower than a reference time or the APS operation % does not arrive to the set A % within the reference time; and determining, by the controller, a control value required to adjust the kick down force; and varying pedal effort of the accelerator pedal based on information of the control value.
