DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING TORQUE DISTRIBUTION TO LEFT AND RIGHT WHEELS ON A VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle left-right wheel drive force distribution control apparatus is proposed that is capable of improving the handling of a vehicle when a steering wheel of the vehicle is being returned toward a center position. The vehicle left-right wheel drive force distribution control apparatus executes a distributed output of a wheel drive force to left and right drive wheels in accordance with a control. The apparatus has a left-right drive force transient control amount computing means that computes a left-right drive force difference transient control amount based on a driver transient turn response request. The left-right drive force difference transient control amount computed by the left-right drive force transient control amount computing means contributes to the aforementioned control by being made smaller when the steering wheel is being returned toward a center position than when the steering wheel is being turned away from the center position.
