VEHICLE AND VEHICLE-DRIVING FORCE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform adequate driving control for avoiding obstacles while a vehicle travels. SOLUTION: When a risk that an obstacle approaches is determined to exist, a map-switching determination part 22 outputs a determination signal to use a low accelerator-responsiveness correlation map. A map storage part 24 stores not only a correlation map in ordinary traveling which is used when an obstacle does not approach but also a correlation map which is lower in accelerator responsiveness than in the case of the ordinary traveling. When the risk that an obstacle approaches is determined to exist, a driving quantity computing part 26 selects a correlation map which is lower in accelerator responsiveness than in the case of the ordinary traveling in accordance with a determination signal. Then, the driving quantity computing part 26 outputs a driving-force signal which corresponds to a driving quantity obtained from the correlation map to a driving-force generating part.
