Abstract: An acceleration slip control system for a motor vehicle, comprising a "fuel-cut number" alteration restraint device (in FIG. 1) for restraining the alteration of the number of those cylinders of the engine of the motor vehicle to which fuel is to be cut off. When the fluctuating magnitude of the reduction of the torque of the engine as based on an actual engine torque and a target engine torque falls within a predetermined range which can be coped with by a brake control, the "fuel-cut number" alteration restraint device inhibits the alteration of the "fuel-cut number". Thus, frequence in the change of the "fuel-cut number" is lowered to prevent the temperature rise of a catalyst which is mounted in the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A traction control apparatus provided in an automotive vehicle includes a determining part for determining a slip ratio of driving wheels of the vehicle, a drive torque control part for performing a traction control process in which a driving force of the driving wheels is controlled such that the driving force is lowered to a smaller value when the slip ratio determined by the determining part is greater than a reference value, a detecting part for detecting a stalling condition of the vehicle, and a changing part for changing the traction control process performed by the drive torque control part when a stalling condition is detected by the detecting part, so as to increase the driving force of the driving wheels.

Abstract: A shifting control apparatus for an automatic transmission of an automotive vehicle includes a throttle valve part, a traction control part for carrying out a traction control process for adjusting the throttle valve part to reach a first throttle position value when the vehicle is operating under prescribed operating conditions, the first throttle position value being smaller than a second throttle position value corresponding to a displacement of an accelerator pedal set by a vehicle operator, a throttle position setting part for setting a mean throttle position value by taking a weighted average of the first throttle position value set while the traction control process is being carried out and the second throttle position value corresponding to the displacement of the accelerator pedal, and a control part for carrying out a shifting control process for the automatic transmission in accordance with the mean throttle position value from the throttle position setting part.
