ROAD VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A control method of a road vehicle;
- the control method comprising the steps of;
detecting the position of an accelerator control which is displaced along a predetermined stroke; and
using the position of the accelerator control to control the generation of a torque generated by an engine of the road vehicle so that the torque is generated according to the position of the accelerator control;
the control method is characterized in that it comprises the further steps of;
detecting the current driver'"'"'s ability by means of a driving ability recognition device; and
limiting the generation of torque according to the current driver'"'"'s ability.
