Driving force control apparatus for vehicle

A driving force control apparatus for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a first power source, a second power source having a response performance different from the first power source, a drive mechanism connected to at least one of the first and the second power source, and a driving wheel to which a torque to be outputted from at least the one of the first and the second power source is transmitted through the drive mechanism, the apparatus comprising:

• a first sensor that detects an output command supplied to at least the one of the first and the second power source;
• a second sensor that detects an operating condition amount of a vehicle;
• and
• a controller programmed to:
• calculate as a basic command value of outputs to the first power source and the second power source a first basic command value and a second basic command value based upon based upon the output command from the first sensor;
• calculate a reference model command value based upon the basic command value and a transmission characteristic of a response of reference model;
• calculate a correction value based upon a deviation between the reference model command value and a predetermined frequency component corresponding to a vibration of a vehicle driving system extracted out of the operating condition amount from the second sensor;
• calculate a target command value by correcting at least one of the first and the second basic command value based upon the correction value;
• and
• control the outputs of the first and the second power source based upon the target command value.
