Abstract
A control value of the control apparatus for controlling a device or devices loaded on a vehicle, for example, a slip ratio against a road surface of driven wheels for a slip control apparatus (traction control apparatus) is determined as a final control value based on plural input signals. For every input signal, plural control zones coresponding to its signal value are present. For every combination of the control zones, a basic control value is memorized in a memory; an adaptability for the control zone corresponding to each signal value is determined as a first adaptability; a second adaptability is determined on the basis of the first adaptability obtained for every input signal; and an inference control value is then determined on the basis of the second adaptability and the basic control value. From the numbers of inference control values and second adaptabilities corresponding to the number of all combinations of the control zones, there is determined the final control value.
