Abstract: A controller K calculates a command torque by correcting the required torque w1 with a correction based on a motor rotation speed Nm, and controls an electric motor based on the command torque T. The command torque w1 is regarded as one content of an outside input W to the controller K. A difference between the rotation speed of the electric motor outputted by the actual model describing an actual response of the electric motor and another rotation speed of the electric motor outputted by a reference model describing ideal performance and vibration reduction is regarded as one content Z1 of controlled output Z from the controller K. Moreover, a characteristic variation depending on vehicle types and so on, a torque ripple, and a sensor noise are described by weight functions wm1, wm2 and wn. Then a pertubative output w2 and a sensor noise w3 are regarded as the remaining contents of the input W. An output of the weight function wm2 is regarded as the controlled output Z.

Abstract: A vehicle control device incorporating an electric power steering is provided, wherein an extraordinary yaw motion acting on a vehicle is detected and is suppressed or moderated, so that the stability of the vehicle in a straight-ahead steering is improved. The causes of the extraordinary yaw motion are one of lateral wind, asymmetrical surface state of the road, lateral slant of the road and the like. A countermeasure against the extraordinary yaw motion is taken by applying a counter (opposite direction) yaw motion on the vehicle or switching over the control mode from a proportional control to a proportional integral control.

Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a shift operation sets an output Mout from a reference model M(s), which is ideally changed, as a target slip amount of a feedback controller Cpi(s). The controller Cpi(s) controls torque transmitted to an off-going friction engagement element for matching a control slip amount sp with the target slip amount. The characteristics of the controller Cpi(s) is determined for optimally performing a clutch-to-clutch shift operation during a lock-up clutch being engaged. When the lock-up clutch has been disengaged, an input shaft rotation speed is filtered by a notch filter NF for removing a frequency component in a predetermined frequency domain, wherein the control slip amount sp is obtained based upon the filtered input shaft rotation speed.

Abstract: Deviation signals (Ex, Ey, Ez, E&thgr;x, E&thgr;y, and E&thgr;z) are sent to PI compensators (7) for respective motion modes. Position control is done by the operation of each PI compensator (7) so as to eliminate the deviation signal. Gain compensators (4) regarding the stiffness receive velocity signals (Vx, Vy, Vz, V&thgr;x, V&thgr;y, and V&thgr;z), and apply the skyhook stiffness for the respective motion modes. A motion mode distribution calculating unit (8) regarding an air spring converts the sum of a sign-inverted output from each gain compensator (4) and an output from a corresponding PI compensator (7) into a driving signal for each air valve (AV). Power amplifiers (10) drive the air valves (AV) in accordance with outputs from the motion mode distribution calculating unit (8). The air valves (AV) control the internal pressures of air springs (SU).

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control device for an automatic transmission is adapted to smoothly change the slip amount of the automatic transmission when a clutch to clutch shift control is performed. The hydraulic pressure control device uses a reference model showing a behavior with an output corresponding to a predetermined slip amount which smoothly varies over time with respect to a target slip amount which varies in a stepped manner. The hydraulic pressure is applied to a release side frictional engagement element using a controller CEMM (s) which shows a behavior such that the controller CEMM(s) and a controlled object P(s) are collaborated to correspond to the reference model. The controller CEMM(s) and the controlled object P(s) have the hydraulic pressure applied to the release side frictional engagement element of the automatic transmission as an input and the slip amount of the automatic transmission as an output.

At the receiving end, a data volume comparison processing is effected to compare data volume as to received data of the data to be transmitted with data volume represented by the data volume information. If the data is in short supply, an amount of missing data is informed to the data transmission apparatus.
