Abstract
The mobile body includes: a stepped transmission; a clutch; a control device; a drive source; an output detection means that acquires an output of the drive source; and an acceleration detection means that acquires acceleration; in which the control device includes: a travel resistance calculation means that calculates a travel resistance based on the acceleration; and a clutch capacity setting means that performs clutch capacity setting based on the output and the travel resistance.
Claims6
A mobile body comprising:
- a stepped transmission;
- a clutch;
- a control device including a processor;
- a drive source that is an engine or a motor;
- an output detection sensor that acquires an output of the drive source;
- and
- an acceleration detection sensor that acquires acceleration;
- wherein the processor of the control device includes:
- a travel resistance calculation means that calculates a travel resistance based on the acceleration;
- a clutch capacity setting means that performs clutch capacity setting based on the output and the travel resistance;
- a shift state determination means that determines whether or not the stepped transmission is performing a shifting operation;
- and
- a comparison means that compares the output with the travel resistance when it is determined that the stepped transmission is not shifting,
- wherein the clutch capacity setting means sets a clutch capacity based on a value of either of the output or the travel resistance determined to be larger by the comparison means.

A mobile body control method comprising:
- an output acquisition step of acquiring an output of a drive source;
- an acceleration acquisition step of acquiring acceleration;
- a travel resistance calculation step of calculating a travel resistance based on the acceleration;
- a clutch capacity setting step of setting a clutch capacity based on the output and the travel resistance;
- a shift state determination step of determining whether or not a stepped transmission is performing a shifting operation;
- and
- a comparison step of comparing the output with the travel resistance when it is determined that the stepped transmission is not shifting,
- wherein the clutch capacity setting step sets the clutch capacity based on a value of either of the output or the travel resistance determined to be larger in the comparison step.
