  • Patent number: 8965658
    Abstract: A vehicle controller includes a wheel speed sensor, a skid sensor, an upper limit calculator, and a motive power controller. The wheel speed sensor is configured to detect rotational speed of driving wheels. The skid sensor is configured to determine whether or not the driving wheels are skidding based on an output of the wheel speed sensor. The upper limit calculator is configured to calculate an upper limit of rotational speed of the driving wheels if the skid sensor determines that the driving wheels are skidding. The motive power controller is configured to control motive power output from the driving source so that rotational speed of the driving wheels is equal to or smaller than the upper limit calculated by the upper limit calculator.
