Patent ID: 8202199

Claim:
A rapid acceleration control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: a prime mover rotational speed control section configured to control a rotational speed of a prime mover; a clutch connection capacity control section configured to control connection capacity of a clutch arranged between the prime mover and a wheel; a rapid acceleration request determining section configured to determine a rapid acceleration start condition exists when both an accelerator and a brake are simultaneously operated while the vehicle is stopped; a rapid acceleration prime mover rotational speed control section configured to execute a rapid acceleration start prime mover rotational speed control that control a rotational speed of the prime mover to a target rotational speed required to achieve the rapid acceleration start when the rapid acceleration request determining section has determined that the rapid acceleration start condition exists; and a rapid acceleration start clutch capacity control section configured to execute a rapid acceleration start clutch capacity control that decreases a connection capacity of the clutch during the rapid acceleration start prime mover rotational speed control executed by the rapid acceleration prime mover rotational speed control section to suppress heating of the clutch due to the rapid acceleration start primer mover rotational speed control.
