Abstract
Acceleration pedal scaling and its interpretation exerts significant influence on cooperation between the driver and automatic control systems of engine and vehicle. In this elaboration a supervisory controller is presented. It permits on programmed dosage of the engine torque. So it is possible to exert an advisable influence on the temporary processes, stepping out during car acceleration. For dependences identification, simulations investigations of the vehicle acceleration were done. These simulations were done with use of the
Road Load Simulator. Thus the influence of transient process on engine work was taken into account. The investigations results for three different power units are enclosed. From the analysis it results, that visible advantages can be reached for every solution. However, the most important is the engine torque dosage in the drive automates.
