Method for increasing the driving comfort of vehicles

Abstract

The method for increasing the driving comfort of motor vehicles, specially during load reversal operations, by control of the dynamics of the driver's desired torque consists in that to a first microprocessor (,) signals are fed relative to the accelerator pedal position and rotational speed of the internal combustion engine, after which the output signal originating from the first microprocessor (,), together with a manually adjustable torque request signal, are fed to a second microprocessor (,), the output signal of which passes through a filter (,) as driver's desired torque, wherein the filtering time produces a damping of load reversal and jolt between driver's wish and internal engine speed ratio. The output signal of the filter (,), together with other control signals, are fed to a third microprocessor (,), the output signal of which, together with a torque-limiting signal originating from the transmission electronics, are fed to a fourth microprocessor (,) which produces the output signal for the throttle valve angle, the firing angle and the injection pulse width. The dynamics of the driver's desired torque are controlled by the electronic transmission control so that the transmission specific constants and/or operating-point dependent signals originating therefrom are fed to a second filter (,) the output signals of which are fed to the engine control and processed thereby.
