Control system for automotive vehicle for controlling vehicle driving behavior with feature of harmonization of vehicular driving condition dependent control and driver's driving tendency adapted control
First Claim
1. A control system for an automotive vehicle for controlling vehicular component, comprising:
- first means for monitoring preselected control parameters for producing a control parameter indicative signals;
second means for deriving a first control signal on the basis of said parameter indicative signals according to a preset common control schedule which defines operating modes of said vehicular component in relation to operating condition represented by said control parameter;
third means for accepting manual entry of command for selecting operational mode of said vehicular component and learning operating conditions at entry of said manually entered command as a personal unique date reflecting driver'"'"'s preference;
fourth means for detecting said control parameter indicative signals representing operational condition coincidence with learnt condition for recollecting manually commanded operational mode and for producing a second control signal; and
fifth means for selectively supplying one of said first and second control signals to said vehicular component for controlling operation thereof, said control signal supplying means outputting said first control signal while absence of said second control signal and outputs said second control signal while said second control signal present.

Abstract
A control system for controlling automotive vehicle driving behavior has a parameter monitoring means for monitoring vehicular driving parameters, a vehicular driving environmental condition predicting means which predicts vehicular driving environmental condition based on generalized intelligence base which is common to all vehicles, a control output generating means for deriving a control output on the basis of the predicted vehicular driving environmental condition, a personal driving characteristics detecting means for detecting unique characteristics of each individual driver, a control output recollecting means which learns relationship between said vehicular driving parameters and the personal driving characteristics for recollecting control output on the basis of said vehicular driving parameters, and a control output selecting means which selects one of control outputs from said control generating means and said control output recollecting means in such that when recollected control output present, the recollected control output is selected and, otherwise the control output derived by the control output generating means is selected.
