Driving force control device of vehicle

摘要

A driving force control device of a vehicle is provided which is configured to calculate a required braking force on the basis of an amount of pressure applied to a brake operating mechanism, which is operated for deceleration by a driver, and to control a braking force of a power plant, which includes a drive source generating an accelerating force and a braking force, and a braking force of a braking mechanism, which generates a braking force with the operation of the braking operating mechanism, in cooperation so that the total braking force of the vehicle as a whole becomes the required braking force. The driving force control device is configured to detect acceleration information including a lateral acceleration of the vehicle and to control the braking force of the power plant on the basis of the detected acceleration information when the brake operating mechanism is operated.

1. A driving force control device of a vehicle, the driving force control device comprising:
an electronic control unit having control logic configured to cause the electronic control unit to: calculate a required braking force on the basis of an amount of pressure applied to a brake operating mechanism, which is operated for deceleration by a driver; control (i) a braking force of a power plant, which includes a drive source generating an accelerating force and the braking force, and (ii) a braking force of a brake operating mechanism, the brake operating mechanism generating the braking force in cooperation with the braking force of the power plant as a total braking force of the vehicle, which becomes the required braking force of the vehicle; detect acceleration information including a lateral acceleration of the vehicle; control the braking force of the power plant on the basis of the detected acceleration information when the brake operating mechanism is operated; and increase a rotation speed of the drive source after the driver's operation on the brake operating mechanism is released but while the vehicle is still in a decelerating state, in preparation for a predicted desired acceleration by the driver once the decelerating state has ended but before the driver performs an accelerating operation.
