DEVICE TO CONTROL FORCE REQUIRED TO DEPRESS ACCELERATOR PEDAL

摘要

A device to control the force required to depress an accelerator pedal, which increases the force required to depress an accelerator pedal (2) when the accelerator opening exceeds a accelerator opening threshold value. If the steering angle when the driver starts to increase the opening of the accelerator pedal (2) is small, the increase in the standard force required to depress the accelerator pedal is set to ?F, and if the steering angle is great, the increase in the force required to depress the accelerator pedal is set to a smaller value (?F-ß). By doing so, it is possible to achieve a smooth acceleration when turning left or turning right from a standstill by setting the increase in force required (?F-ß) to a relatively small value.
