Abstract:
1. A control apparatus for a starting clutch provided between a driving side and a driven side of a power transmission system of a vehicle, for controlling engagement state of the driving side and the driven side, comprising: engine speed detecting means for detecting an engine speed; clutch speed ratio detecting means for detecting a ratio of rotational speeds of the driving side and the driven side of the starting clutch; accelerator operated amount corresponding value detecting means for detecting a value corresponding to an accelerator operated amount; torque coefficient determining means for detecting a torque coefficient based on the speed ratio detected by said clutch speed ratio detecting means; engine speed correction amount determining means for determining an engine speed correction amount based on the detected accelerator operated amount corresponding value; clutch instruction torque determining means for determining a clutch instruction torque for the starting clutch based on the torque coefficient, the engine speed, and the engine speed correction amount; and a clutch controller that controls an engagement state of the starting clutch based on the clutch instruction torque determined by said clutch instruction torque determining means.
