Patent ID: 8190347

Claim:
A control apparatus for controlling anteroposterior acceleration of a vehicle provided with a power train including a motive power generation apparatus and a transmission apparatus that operates on changeable staged gear ratios and a brake actuator for wheels including drive wheels, the rotation force being transmitted to the drive wheels via the transmission apparatus, comprising: detecting means for detecting an actual anteroposterior acceleration actually applied to the vehicle; feedback manipulated variable calculation means for calculating, at intervals, a feedback manipulated variable necessary for controlling operations of both the motive power generation apparatus and the brake actuators, according to a control that requires calculation of an integral term based on a difference between the actual anteroposterior acceleration and a target acceleration value; torque command production means for producing the torque command based on the calculated feedback manipulated variable; control means for controlling the operations of both the power train and the brake actuators based on the produced torque command such that the actual value of the anteroposterior acceleration of the vehicle is controlled at the target acceleration value; determining means for determining whether or not the transmission apparatus is in a switchover control of the gear ratios; and limitation means for temporarily limiting the feedback manipulated variable from being calculated in real time by giving a constant value to the integral term in calculating the feedback manipulated variable when it is determined by the determining means that the transmission apparatus is in the switchover control of the gear ratios.
