DRIVING FORCE CONTROL DEVICE AND DRIVING FORCE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

In a driving force control device and driving force control method according to the invention, a first target driving force (FO) is calculated based on an operation amount of an accelerator pedal by a driver, a second target driving force (Fd), which is necessary for a vehicle to maintain a constant vehicle speed or maintain a predetermined relative distance or relative speed relationship with a target object near the vehicle, is calculated, an intention of a driver to increase or reduce the vehicle speed is determined, the first target driving force (FO) and the second target driving force (Fd) are coordinated with each other, using a unit of driving force, in consideration of the intention of the driver, and driving force is controlled based on a target driving force (Fl) derived through a coordination process.
