ABSTRACT:
A vehicle propulsion system is proposed in which a computer carried aboard the vehicle has inputs from transducers indicating, as well as engine speed, extent of operation of the accelerator pedal and road speed of the vehicle, the extent of operation of the brake control, and has outputs connected to transducers to control throttle, gear selection and also to the braking system of the vehicle. This arrangement allows, during normal driving, the relief of drag when the vehicle is moving faster than the accelerator setting appears to demand by the modification of gear selection either to a very high ratio or to put the gearbox into neutral. It also, by the provision of the transducer associated with the braking system, permits the modification of braking effort resulting from pressure on the brake pedal to take into account a braking effort derived from the engine.
