Abstract: A determination unit in an ECU of a rough terrain vehicle determines a reverse running state in a case that an engine rotational speed of an engine decreases when a traveling drive force is generated in the rough terrain vehicle. Further, if the determination unit determines occurrence of the reverse running state, the ECU refers to a clutch hydraulic pressure map, and sets a target hydraulic pressure so as to decrease gradually over time.

Abstract: In a rough terrain vehicle, at a time of preparing to start movement, in a case that a left paddle switch and a right paddle switch are operated together with an accelerator pedal, an ECU disengages a clutch of an automatic transmission, and causes an output of an engine to increase. On the other hand, at a time of starting movement, in a case that the left paddle switch and the right paddle switch are returned to their initial positions, the ECU engages the clutch and transmits the output of the engine from the engine to vehicle wheels via the automatic transmission, to thereby rapidly start movement of the rough terrain vehicle.

Abstract: A basic pulse time setting section determines a basic pulse time for initial invalid stroke elimination by applying current values of oil temperature and throttle opening to the basic pulse time map. A subtraction time setting section determines a subtraction time by applying current values of oil temperature and clutch oil pressure to the subtraction time map. A pulse time determining section determines a predetermined initial invalid stroke elimination pulse time by subtracting the subtraction time from the basic pulse time. An initial invalid stroke elimination permission/inhibition determination section, at a starting timing of initial invalid stroke elimination, inhibits this-time initial invalid stroke elimination if the elapsed time from the execution timing of the preceding initial invalid stroke elimination is within the predetermined inhibition period.

Abstract: A basic clutch capacity calculating unit calculates a clutch capacity of the DCT applying an engine speed, a degree of throttle opening, and a front wheel vehicle speed to a map. The basic clutch capacity calculating unit further calculates the DCT basic clutch capacity by amending the basic clutch capacity based on an oil temperature and a water temperature. An NE converted value calculating unit calculates an NE converted value obtained by converting a vehicle speed into an engine speed with the front wheel vehicle speed and a DCT speed change stage as input parameters. A hunting detecting unit detects hunting by comparing the engine speed with the NE converted value when a throttle operation is detected. A DCT clutch capacity correcting unit makes decreasing correction of a DCT clutch capacity when hunting is detected for suppressing the hunting.

Abstract: A method of controlling the electric current of a linear solenoid valve by performing pulse width modulation on a coil current for energizing a linear solenoid of the linear solenoid valve to adjust the hydraulic pressure of a working oil in a hydraulic clutch for transmitting and interrupting the rotational drive power from a power source to a drive wheel of a vehicle.

Abstract: In a fuel injection controller, a first throttle opening TH0 is defined at a specific time P2. The P2 is a specific time later than the peak value of an intake pipe internal pressure PB of a previous cycle. In the cycle, P3 is a specific time that is set immediately before the calculation of the injection time. A second throttle opening TH2 is defined at P3. The fuel injection controller corrects a fuel injection amount based on variation in correction time ta0 at the first throttle opening TH0 to correction time ta1 at the second throttle opening TH1. The time P2 is later than time P1, which is the peak value of the intake pipe internal pressure of the previous cycle. Accordingly, the fuel injection amount correction is completely unaffected or only slightly affected by the intake pipe internal pressure, thus ensuring close-to-ideal correction.

The transmission switches between a neutral state and an in-gear state, and when the sensor detects that the transmission is switching from the neutral state to the in-gear state, the controller causes the brake device to generate braking force on the drive wheel, and then releases the braking force upon completion of the switching to the in-gear state.
