  • Mobility enhancement system for electronic throttle controlled vehicles
    Patent number: 6672281
    Abstract: An electronic enhanced mobility control interface of a mobility enhancement system implemented in a motor vehicle having a conventional electronic throttle control system. The electronic enhanced mobility throttle interface includes an auxiliary electronic throttle sensor in duplication of the conventional throttle pedal electronic throttle sensor, wherein the driver's selection of either the auxiliary or throttle pedal position throttle sensor is interfaced transparently to an engine electronic controller, as for example an engine control module (ECM/PCM) for processing to the electronic throttle control (ETC) subsystem. The electronic mobility enhancement throttle interface further includes an auxiliary throttle control by which the driver executes throttle commands to the auxiliary electronic throttle sensor, a data switch for connecting one or the other of the throttle pedal position and auxiliary electronic throttle sensors processing electronics to the ECM/PCM.
