PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently reduce the sense of incongruity of an occupant while minimizing a reduction in the accelerating performance and drivability of a vehicle, by responding to stagnation in the driving force of the vehicle to restrict a subsequent increase in the driving force while adequately moderating the degree of the restriction.SOLUTION: A driving force control device includes driving force restricting means (an ECU 500 as an example) for, when determining that an increase in actual driving force Pact of the vehicle with respect to required driving force Preq determined depending on at least acceleration requiring operation (an accelerator opening Acc) of the occupant stagnates for a longer time than a predetermined time (Step ST102), restricting a subsequent increase in the actual driving force Pact (Step ST106). The driving force restricting means restricts the increase so that an increase change rate &bgr; of the actual driving force Pact is smaller as a stagnation time &Dgr;t for the driving force is longer. |
