stored the value of the counter indicates the time that it takes for this vehicle operator to move their foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal if neither pedal is depressed control passes to block 86 in which it is determined whether the counter has exceeded the threshold if not the actions in 78 continue if the threshold is exceeded by the counter in decision block 86 control passes to block 124 to store the value of the counter if block 124 is accessed the vehicle operator has not depressed a pedal in the time allotted for preparation for a launch this could be due to the operator being a more casual driver and taking more time to call for a launch control passes from 124 to block 128 in which the value of the threshold may be adapted increased and the aggressiveness of the actions taken in block 76 reduced from block 122 control passes to block 126 in which the value of the threshold may be adapted decreased and the aggressiveness of the actions taken in block 76 increased in fig5 the algorithm shows a dashed link between blocks 122 and 126 and between blocks 124 and 128 according to one embodiment the adaptations in blocks 126 and 128.
