ことができる。When a membership function is given, the frequency of occurrence of large, medium, and small measurement values can be calculated by applying the membership function to each measurement variable. By performing a conversion matrix calculation from the appearance frequency to the driving state based on the large, medium, and small appearance frequencies of each measurement variable, the appearance probability of each driving state can be obtained. If a reference level with the maximum probability of occurrence of each driving condition is established, this can be used as the estimated value of the driving condition during the evaluation period.

確度で行える。In the conversion matrix for calculating the driving state from the appearance frequency, the large, medium, and small appearance probabilities of each measurement variable in each driving state are set in advance. The conversion matrix value may be considered as an appearance probability value and a connected value may be set. Alternatively, it may take a value of ■ or 0 depending on whether the measured variable contributes to the driving state estimation or not. Furthermore, the weight of a classification that has a high contribution compared to other measurement variables or classifications may be increased. By arbitrarily setting the value of the conversion matrix in this way, the driving state can be identified by taking advantage of the characteristics of each measurement variable. moreover,
When the estimated values of each driving state obtained for each measured variable are added for the appropriate measured variable, the driving state can be identified with higher accuracy.

Now, we apply the measured values including the difference values to the membership function of fuzzy logic to find the frequency of appearance of each measured variable, estimate the operating state via a transformation matrix, and calculate the control parameters according to the state. The changed value is output to the fuel injection device 11 and the ignition timing control device.

2 adjusts the ignition timing of 1 spark plug I5. From the viewpoint of responsiveness and exhaust gas regulations, it is desirable to adapt control parameters for ignition timing control as adaptive control to the driving environment. In order to control transient conditions, it is necessary to rely on ignition timing control from the viewpoint of responsiveness. On the other hand, in terms of fuel efficiency, it may depend on control of the fuel injection amount. For this reason, adaptation to environmental and drivability preferences is carried out mainly through ignition timing control, with fuel injection control as an aid.

。The functions in the state determination device 10 will be explained with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 2 and the conceptual diagram of calculation in FIG. 3. The program shown in FIG. 2 is activated by a timer interrupt 21. Measurement variables representing the driving environment and the driver's operation results are measured in block 22 via various sensors. Variables whose changes over time are desired are differentiated in block 23. The differentiated variables are also added to the measurement variables. A block 24 classifies these measured values into large, medium, and small groups over time via a membership function. The probability of classification into each group is given as a membership function value. The membership function value for each timer interrupt is accumulated in block 25. In block 26, it is compared whether the number of timer interrupts α is equal to a predetermined number of times Qx. The timer period multiplied by Qx becomes the period for evaluating the driving environment.

27でQの値を1増やして、ブロック28で終る。When the number of timer interrupts Q is smaller than Qx, the value of Q is increased by 1 in block 27, and the process ends in block 28.

運転環境を渋滞路、市街路、郊外路、山道、高速道路に
分けることにより、それぞれの走行の特徴をとらえるこ
とができる。各走行の特徴は1次の計測変数により感知
できる。By dividing the driving environment into congested roads, city roads, suburban roads, mountain roads, and expressways, it is possible to understand the characteristics of each type of driving. The characteristics of each run can be sensed by first-order measurement variables.
高速道路走行では、車速が大きく、ギヤはほとんど切り

ルクになるように進める。しかし、車種によっては、運
転性に関する好みから、点火時期を遅らせて。When driving on a highway, the vehicle speed is high and gears are hardly changed. From this, if the vehicle speed is high, the gear is top gear, and the gear change is small, it is determined that the vehicle is traveling on a highway. When driving on a highway, advance the ignition timing to reach the maximum allowable torque. However, depending on the car model, the ignition timing may be delayed due to preferences regarding driveability.

渋滞路では、前進、停止の繰り返えしのため、車速が低
く、ブレーキ頻度が高い。この場合には緩慢な加速が望
ましく1点火時期は遅らせるようにする。運転性に関す
る好みが″緩和″の場合と同様の点火時期に調整する。On congested roads, vehicles repeatedly move forward and stop, resulting in low vehicle speeds and high braking frequency. In this case, slow acceleration is desirable and the ignition timing should be delayed by one. Adjust the ignition timing to be the same as when the preference regarding drivability is "relaxation".
郊外路での走行は、交差点が市街地に比べて少ないため

は、特に点火時期の調整は新たに加えず、この判定以前
の運転性に関する好みの点火時期調整を維持する。その
理由は。When driving on suburban roads, there are fewer intersections than in urban areas, so drivers drive at speeds close to the speed limit. Therefore, when the vehicle speed is maintained close to the speed limit and the frequency and range of steering operations are small, it is determined that the vehicle is driving on a suburban road. In this case, no new adjustment of the ignition timing is made, and the desired ignition timing adjustment regarding drivability prior to this determination is maintained. The reason is.
定速走行時は、許容最大1−ルク近くのエンジン回転に
するのが、排気ガスや燃費の面で好ましく、運転性の好
みは過度状態のときに現われるからである。郊外路の定
速走行では運転者の好みは感知が困難である。また感知
の必要性もない。When driving at a constant speed, it is preferable to keep the engine revolution close to the maximum permissible 1-lux in terms of exhaust gas and fuel efficiency, and this is because preference for drivability becomes apparent when the vehicle is in an excessive state. When driving at a constant speed on suburban roads, it is difficult to detect driver preferences. There is also no need for sensing.

には。Driving in the city involves many intersections. For this reason, both brake and steering operations are required frequently. Frequently switching between the accelerator and brake pedals means that there are many excessive situations,
Luck and the translator's preferences tend to show up. For this reason, when driving on the city surface, it is difficult to find luck. , if the environment and the frequency of driving are high.
″゛軽快 S porty)″と判定し、″小″の頻度

る。When driving in mountains, there are many curves, so the steering wheel is moved frequently while accelerating and decelerating repeatedly. Therefore, if the frequency of switching between the brake and accelerator pedals is high, and the steering movement is also high, it is determined that the vehicle is on a mountain road. Because there are many repeated accelerations and decelerations on mountain roads, preferences regarding drivability are likely to emerge. Similar to city driving, "light" and "gentle" are determined based on the frequency of dN/dt (or ΔN).

り替わったことをランプ、又は岳で知らせる。While driving, it may be necessary to accelerate suddenly to avoid obstacles. If a driver who has selected ``gentle'' as his preference regarding drivability depresses the accelerator pedal rapidly, the mode is switched to ``light''. In this case, a lamp or mountain will notify you that the mode has changed to "Pakikai".

より確度は高まる。Preferences regarding drivability can be detected to some extent just by using the accelerator pedal. However, this alone has low accuracy of judgment because it includes abnormal behavior when the gear is in neutral, such as a double clutch. Highly accurate determination is possible based on changes in the position of both the accelerator and brake pedals and the magnitude of their speed. Furthermore, accuracy can be further improved by incorporating the frequency of the measured values of vehicle speed, engine speed, and gear position.

期:A整は応答性の面でも優れている。A method of adjusting ignition timing is used to achieve preferences regarding the driving environment and drivability. This method requires no additional cost compared to other methods and can be implemented by simply changing the program. In particular, since the need for adaptation is in a transient state, ignition timing: A adjustment is also excellent in terms of responsiveness.
