VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240159311 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control system for preventing a drop in driving force in a vehicle with a momentary type shifting device. The system establishes a neutral range when the shift lever is maintained in the neutral position for a threshold time, and executes a neutral range maintaining action after the lapse of the threshold time.
- The shifting device has positions corresponding to different ranges (e.g., N, D, B) located in a specific order.
- The controller is configured to monitor the shift lever position and establish a neutral range after a threshold time in the neutral position.
- The neutral range maintaining action is executed to prevent a drop in driving force in the vehicle.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in automatic transmission systems in vehicles to improve driving performance and prevent drops in driving force.
Problems Solved
1. Preventing a drop in driving force during shifting in a vehicle. 2. Ensuring smooth transitions between different gear ranges.
Benefits
1. Improved driving performance and efficiency. 2. Enhanced control over the vehicle's transmission system. 3. Increased safety by preventing sudden drops in driving force.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing automatic transmission systems in cars for better performance and efficiency.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or technologies related to automatic transmission control systems that aim to improve shifting performance and prevent drops in driving force.
What is the impact of this technology on vehicle safety?

Original Abstract Submitted
a control system for preventing a drop in driving force in a vehicle having a momentary type shifting device. in the shifting device, the n position corresponding to the n range and the default position are located between the d position corresponding to the d range and b position corresponding to the b range. the controller is configured to establish the neutral range in a case that the shift lever which is moved to the n position is maintained thereto for the threshold, and the neutral range maintaining action is executed after the lapse of the threshold time.
