Abstract:
1. A closure panel control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: a drive means for driving a closure panel, which is provided at a door of the vehicle, to open and close the closure panel; a moving speed sensing means for outputting a speed measurement signal in response to an opening movement and a closing movement of the closure panel; a moving speed storage means for prestoring average moving speed data, which corresponds to respective corresponding positions of the closure panel at the time of the closing movement of the closure panel, as learning data; a pinching sensing means for sensing pinching of an object by the closure panel based on: a disturbance sensing means for sensing a disturbance when the speed measurement signal, which is obtained at the time of the closing movement of the closure panel, exceeds a predetermined value; and a moving speed updating means for updating the learning data based on the average moving speed data computed based on the speed measurement signal obtained at the time of the closing movement of the closure panel, wherein: the moving speed updating means controls execution and non-execution of updating of the learning data in response to a close state and an open state of the door, wherein the moving speed updating means computes the learning data through use of different update coefficients that are specified for the open state and the close state, respectively, of the door; and the moving speed updating means computes and updates the learning data through use of a disturbance update value, which is corrected to fall within a predetermined range, when the disturbance is sensed with the disturbance sensing means.
