Patent ID: 6999870

Claim:
A vehicle control system, comprising: a vehicle device having a position between minimum and maximum positions, wherein said vehicle device is one of an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, a clutch pedal, or a throttle blade of a vehicle; first and second position sensors that sense said position of said vehicle device and that generate first and second position values, respectively; a sensor module that communicates with said first and second position sensors, that generates a first signal waveform based on said first position value and a second signal waveform based on said second position value, and that varies a frequency of said first signal waveform based on said first position value and a frequency of said second signal waveform based on said second position value; and a control module that communicates with said sensor module and that determines said first and second position values based on said frequencies of said first and second signal waveforms, respectively.
