  • Supercharging pressure setting apparatus
    Patent number: 11225919
    Abstract: A supercharging pressure setting apparatus, includes: an engine mounted on a vehicle; a supercharger compressing an intake air introduced to the engine; a supercharger actuator adjusting a supercharging pressure to a target supercharging pressure; and a processor. The processor acquires an intake air amount to the engine; acquires a target intake air amount to the engine; sets the target supercharging pressure based on an operation state of the vehicle; determines whether the operation state of the vehicle is one of an accelerating state and a transition state to the accelerating state; and calculates a difference between the intake air amount and the target intake air amount. The processor sets the target supercharging pressure based on the difference when it is determined that the operation state of the vehicle is one of the accelerating state and the transition state.
