A method for limiting a revolution speed of an internal combustion engine (E) of a sports car, the method comprising a first step (Step 1) of acquiring a nominal speed value of said internal combustion engine, a second step (Step 2) of measuring a revolution speed of said internal combustion engine, when (CHK) a measured revolution speed of said internal combustion engine has reached (yes) an activation speed approximately equal to said nominal speed, the method comprising a third step (Step 3) of setting a predetermined initial torque value (a) to be delivered by said internal combustion engine and simultaneously a fourth step (Step 4) of carrying out a feedback control of a torque delivery of said internal combustion engine.

A vehicle includes a body holding device configured to hold the body of a seated driver; a travel control unit configured to drive the vehicle body so that it travels; and a maximum vehicle speed setting unit configured to set a set maximum vehicle speed. The travel control unit controls an output from the driving unit based on the operation amount of an accelerator device if the vehicle speed is lower than the set maximum vehicle speed, and restricts the output from the driving unit irrespective of the operation amount of the accelerator device if the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the set maximum vehicle speed. The maximum vehicle speed setting unit sets, if it is detected that the body holding device is worn, a first vehicle speed as the set maximum vehicle speed, and sets, if it is detected that the body holding device is not worn, a second vehicle speed lower than the first vehicle speed as the set maximum vehicle speed.

A state determination method for a work vehicle includes detecting a rotation speed of an engine of the work vehicle during a first predetermined time period. A maximum rotation speed and a minimum rotation speed during the first predetermined time period are obtained. A parameter representing a fuel injection amount of the engine during the first predetermined time period is obtained. A variation amount that is a difference between a maximum value of the parameter during the first predetermined time period and a minimum value of the parameter during the first predetermined time period is obtained. It is determined that the work vehicle is in an operating state when a difference between the maximum rotation speed and the minimum rotation speed exceeds a rotation speed threshold value, or the variation amount exceeds a variation amount threshold value.
