Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: an engine; an engine rotation speed sensor arranged to detect a rotation speed of the engine; a driving wheel arranged to be driven by the engine; a friction clutch located between the engine and the driving wheel; a clutch actuator arranged to disengage and engage the friction clutch; a clutch state detection device arranged to detect a half clutch state of the friction clutch; a driving wheel detection sensor arranged to detect a rotation speed of the driving wheel; a vehicle speed detection sensor arranged to detect a vehicle speed; a traction control device including a slip detection section arranged and programmed to detect a slip of the driving wheel based on the rotation speed of the driving wheel detected by the driving wheel detection sensor and the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection sensor, and an engine control section arranged and programmed to perform control to decrease an output of the engine when the slip of the driving wheel is detected by the slip detection section; and a clutch actuator control device arranged and programmed to control the clutch actuator based on the rotation speed of the engine; wherein when the friction clutch is in a half clutch state and the slip of the driving wheel is detected at the time of starting of the vehicle, the clutch actuator control device is arranged and programmed to control the clutch actuator so as to change a pushing force of the friction clutch and to maintain the rotation speed of the engine at a fixed level.
