VEHICLE DRIVING FORCE SUPPRESSION DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle driving force suppression device comprising:
- an object detection unit for detecting an object existing in front of or at back of a vehicle;
a shift position detection unit for detecting a transmission position;
a driving force suppression determination unit for determining whether to suppress a vehicle driving force, on the basis of a detection result of the object given by the object detection unit and a detection result of the transmission position given by the shift position detection unit; and
a driving force suppression unit for suppressing the vehicle driving force by adjusting at least one of a brake and an engine output,wherein, upon a vehicle starting off, if the object detection unit does not detect any object which is an obstacle to driving and which is in front of the vehicle and the shift position detection unit detects that the transmission position is a reverse position, or if the object detection unit does not detect any object which is an obstacle to driving and which is at the back of the vehicle and the shift position detection unit detects that the transmission position is a forward position, the driving force suppression determination unit determines to suppress the vehicle driving force and outputs a command of driving force suppression to the driving force suppression unit; and
wherein the driving force suppression unit receives the command from the driving force suppression determination unit, and executes at least one of restriction of the engine output against the driver'"'"'s acceleration operation and generation of deceleration force with the brake, thus suppressing the vehicle driving force.

Abstract
A vehicle driving force suppression device is provided, and driving force suppression is conducted on the basis of existence of an obstacle which is on the opposite course to the selected shift position. Adding specific conditions related to acceleration pedal depression amount and speed, inclination of the road in the direction which an obstacle exists, or distance to the obstacle, magnitude of driving force suppression is decided.
