VEHICLE CONTROL INSTRUMENT Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F02D29/02 F02D45/00 

FIELD: automotive industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive control instrumentation. Proposed control instrument controls the device incorporated with the vehicle to generate setting for vehicle device, control the latter using said setting and settle conflicts between several settings for one device. In the case of conflict, at least one of two settings is expressed in units other than those of another setting. Control instrument converts physical magnitudes of settings to unify units. Prior to converting physical magnitude of setting, the latter is memorised by control instrument. Conflict settled and setting required inverse conversion of physical magnitude, control instrument outputs memorised setting to make a device setting. Said device can made a vehicle traction force source. In setting generation, first and second settings are generated. First setting is base don driver manipulations (S100). Second setting is not based on driver manipulations. When engine makes the vehicle traction force source, first setting "a" is expressed in torque units (S200). Second setting "A" is expressed in traction force units (S400). On converting physical magnitudes, conversion into units of traction forces (S500) is carried out. First setting "a" (S300) is memorised. If first setting is selected after conflict settling (no S600), memorised first setting "a" (S900) is set for the engine.

EFFECT: better vehicle controllability.
