Vehicular kinetic control system
First Claim
1. A vehicular kinetic control system provided in a vehicle, the vehicular kinetic control system comprising:
- an interpreting unit that obtains, based on an accelerator operating amount in the vehicle, a first physical amount corresponding to a first driving force that a driver of the vehicle requests;
an environment detecting unit that detects environment information relating to the vehicle;
a modifying unit that modifies the first physical amount based on the environment information to thereby set a second physical amount that corresponds to a second driving force that is finally requested;
a driving force controlling unit that generates a control signal based on the second physical amount; and
an actuator that generates the second driving force based on the control signal, wherein the modifying unit sets the second physical amount by modifying a response characteristic of the first physical amount based on the environment information.

Abstract
In a state where a driver sees a region near a vehicle, a finally-requested output-shaft torque is set so that a response is hastened in a deceleration and slowed in an acceleration. Thereby, a vehicle takes a forward descending position in which the front end of the vehicle is descending, which gives a driver a sense of deceleration or a sense of turning. Further, this position causes a front wheel load acting on the ground to increase and a rear wheel load acting on the ground to decrease, in comparison to a normal position. This thereby makes it easier for the vehicle to decelerate when practically decelerating or turning, and further enables turning to slightly over-steer. A resultant vehicular kinetic characteristic becomes comparable with a sense that is expected by the driver.
