Patent Images
1. An apparatus for controlling a vehicle comprising:
- a plurality of sensor means for detecting conditions at various parts of said vehicle;
at least one controlled object to be controlled; and
control means for appropriately controlling said controlled object according to an output of said plurality of sensor means, said control means comprising;
detection means for detecting an output information of at least one sensor of said plurality of sensors, said detecting means outputting a signal when said output information of said at least one sensor is of a predetermined condition which is improbable in practical use;
first controlled variable determining means for determining a first controlled variable for said controlled object according to said output of said plurality of sensor means;
specification change-over means for applying data information for selecting pre-stored one of control procedures and control data to said first controlled variable determining means;
second controlled variable determining means for converting said data information applied from said specification change-over means into a second controlled variable for said controlled object; and
selecting means for selecting one of said first and second variables as an actual controlled value of said controlled object according to said output signal of said detecting means.
