    Abstract: A combination brake pedal and an accelerator pedal assembly allowing the vehicle to be driven with both feet comprising a brake and an accelerator, the accelerator being operatively connected to an engine control lever that moves between an engaged and a disengaged position, when the accelerator is pressed the engine control lever moves to the engaged position to accelerate the vehicle, when the accelerator is not pressed the engine control lever moves to the disengaged position so the vehicle does not accelerate; and an accelerator pedal disengagement device operatively connected to the brake and accelerator for moving the engine control lever to the disengaged position when the brake pedal is pushed, wherein the accelerator pedal disengagement device prevents the accelerator pedal from causing the engine control lever to move to the engaged position when both the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are pressed.

    Abstract: In a vehicle, it is determined whether a driver has requested increased driving force based on an accelerator opening degree. If the driver has requested increased driving force, a vehicle speed at the time of the request for increased driving force is derived. Three-dimensional map which corresponds to different vehicle speed and which shows a predetermined relationship of the accelerator opening degree (Acc), the vehicle speed and a required torque are then used to set the required torque. The maps are set such that the required torque increases with respect to the accelerator opening degree when the vehicle speed is low. Further, the maps are set such that when the vehicle speed is high, (i) even if the accelerator opening degree changes a little, the required driving force does not change a large amount, and (ii) the required driving force remains substantially constant when the vehicle speed is in a high speed region. By adopting this configuration, the driver's request is closely correlated with the vehicle speed at the time of the request for increased driving force, and thus the vehicle can be driven with a driving force that accords with the driver's request.

    Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle equipped with an engine and a motor that are connected to a driveshaft linked to an axle via a gear mechanism, on condition that a torque demand Tr* required for the driveshaft is lower than a preset reference torque level Tref (step S220) and that a vehicle speed V is lower than a preset reference speed level Vref (step S230), the drive control of the invention idles the engine (step S240) regardless of a stop request of the engine (steps S120 and S210). This arrangement effectively reduces the potential for backlash or gear rattle in the gear mechanism. On condition that the vehicle speed V is not lower than the preset reference speed level Vref (step S220), on the other hand, the drive control of the invention stops the operation of the engine (step S250) in response to the stop request of the engine (steps S120 and S210) even under the torque demand Tr* of lower than the preset reference torque level Tref (step S230). This arrangement desirably enhances the energy efficiency of the hybrid vehicle.
