GAS PEDAL EFFORT CONTROL APPARATUS AND GAS PEDAL EFFORT CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas pedal effort control apparatus that enables a driver to completely realize an increase in gas pedal effort when a pedal effort of a gas pedal is rapidly increased.

SOLUTION: While a pedal effort of an gas pedal 2 keeps on being increased by only an increment of a predetermined pedal effort more than a base pedal effort, the increment of the predetermined pedal effort is decreased in a predetermined proportion when an accelerator opening becomes not more than an increment cancel threshold value (t2 timing). When the accelerator opening becomes more than a predetermined accelerator opening threshold value (t3 timing) while the increment of the predetermined pedal effort keeps on being decreased. The pedal effort of the gas pedal 2 is increased relative to the base pedal effort so that the increment of a pedal effort to the base pedal effort is more than the increment of the predetermined pedal effort.
