2. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

   Throttle body with integrated motor actuator. Electronic throttle control (ETC) is an automotive technology that uses electronics to replace the traditional mechanical linkages between the driver's input such as a foot pedal to the vehicle's throttle mechanism which regulates speed or acceleration.

3. Drive by wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire

   Accelerate-by-wire or throttle-by-wire, [17] more commonly known as electronic throttle control, is a system that actuates vehicle propulsion without any mechanical connections, such as cables, from the accelerator pedal to the throttle valve of the engine or other propulsion systems. In electric vehicles, this system controls the electric ...

4. Throttle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

   On many cars, the accelerator pedal motion is communicated via the throttle cable, which is mechanically connected to the throttle linkages, which, in turn, rotate the throttle plate. In cars with electronic throttle control (also known as "drive-by-wire"), an electric actuator controls the throttle linkages and the accelerator pedal connects ...

5. Engine order telegraph - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_order_telegraph

   On most modern vessels with direct combustion engines or electric propulsors, the main control handle on the bridge acts as a direct throttle with no intervening engine room personnel. As such, it is regarded under the rules of marine classification societies as a remote control device rather than an EOT, though it is still often referred to by ...

6. Throttle position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_position_sensor

   Some engine control units (ECUs) also control the throttle position by electronic throttle control (ETC) or "drive by wire" systems, and if that is done, the position sensor is used in a feedback loop to enable that control. [1] Related to the TPS are accelerator pedal sensors, which often include a wide open throttle (WOT) sensor.

7. Transmission control unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit

   A transmission control unit (TCU), also known as a transmission control module (TCM), or a gearbox control unit (GCU), is a type of automotive ECU that is used to control electronic automatic transmissions. Similar systems are used in conjunction with various semi-automatic transmissions, purely for clutch automation and actuation.
