Abstract
A throttle controller is provided so as to reduce a load imposed on the drive and transmission system in the stall state in which both the accelerator and brake are depressed. The controller comprises a throttle control section for calculating a degree of opening of the throttle for generating a driving force in accordance with the actual degree of depression of the accelerator used as a target degree of opening of the throttle so as to drive the vehicle by a target driving force calculated based on the actual degree of depression of the accelerator; a section for determining the stall state in which the gear lever is in a driving gear; the actual degree of depression of the accelerator is larger than a predetermined degree; the brake is operated; and the speed is smaller than a predetermined speed; and a storage section for storing a predetermined degree of opening of the throttle which is read out when the actual degree of depression of the accelerator is larger than the predetermined degree, and wherein the throttle control section limits the target degree of opening of the throttle to the predetermined degree stored in the storage section when the stall state of the vehicle is …
