Abstract
A control device for controlling a drive force that operates on a vehicle includes a first controller for controlling the drive force, and a second controller for sending to the first controller a limit of the drive force. The second controller has an input unit for inputting the drive force outputted from the first control means, and a calculation unit for computing in a first mode a limiting drive force for limiting the drive force. In a case that a first difference between the drive force and the limiting drive force is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the calculation unit calculates the limiting drive force in a second mode instead of the first mode so that the first difference is limited from becoming greater.
Claims8
A control device for controlling a drive force that operates on a vehicle, the control device comprising:
- a first controller that is configured to control the drive force and to output the drive force;
- and
- a second controller that is configured to send a limit of the drive force to the first controller, wherein
- the second controller comprises:
- an input unit that is configured to receive the drive force output by the first controller, and
- a calculation unit configured to compute a limiting drive force for limiting the drive force in either of a first and second mode, wherein,
- when the calculation unit computes the limiting drive force in a first mode and a difference between the drive force and the limiting drive force is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the calculation unit calculates the limiting drive force in a the second mode instead of the first mode, whereby calculating the limiting drive force in the second mode prevents the difference from increasing.
