Motor-vehicle antirunaway system

An antirunaway system is used in a motor vehicle having an engine, a transmission displaceable between a neutral position and a plurality of different speed positions, an engageable and disengageable clutch connected between the transmission and the engine, and a brake for slowing the vehicle. The s...

Zusammenfassung:	An antirunaway system is used in a motor vehicle having an engine, a transmission displaceable between a neutral position and a plurality of different speed positions, an engageable and disengageable clutch connected between the transmission and the engine, and a brake for slowing the vehicle. The system comprises a clutch sensor for generating an output when the clutch is engaged, a transmission sensor for generating an output when the transmission is in the neutral position, a speed sensor for determining the vehicle ground speed, and a controller connected to all of the sensors and to the brake for actuating the brake and slowing the vehicle when both the outputs are being generated and when the ground speed determined by the speed sensor exceeds a predetermined limit. The controller can also or instead be connected to an alarm for issuing a warning to the driver of the runaway condition.
