Abstract: A braking-force control device has a brake control function for performing brake control on a front outside wheel when a vehicle is detected to be in an oversteer condition during a turning operation and for performing brake control on a rear inside wheel when the vehicle is detected to be in an understeer condition during a turning operation. For preventing the oversteer condition, a command for reducing the engine torque is output. On the other hand, for preventing the understeer condition, the engine torque is limited in accordance with a permissible engine torque value that is calculated on the basis of a road-surface friction coefficient, and ground loads and lateral tire forces of individual wheels. If it is detected that engine braking is in operation, the engine torque is adjusted to substantially zero.

Abstract: A driving force control device includes an individual-wheel friction-circle limit-value calculating portion that calculates friction-circle limit-values of individual wheels, an individual-wheel requested-resultant-tire-force calculating portion that calculates requested resultant tire forces of the individual wheels, an individual-wheel resultant-tire-force calculating portion that calculates resultant tire forces of the individual wheels, an individual-wheel requested-excessive-tire-force calculating portion that calculates requested excessive tire forces of the individual wheels, an individual-wheel excessive-tire-force calculating portion that calculates excessive tire forces of the individual wheels, an excessive-tire-force calculating portion that calculates an excessive tire force, an over-torque calculating portion that calculates an over-torque, and a control-amount calculating portion that calculates a control amount that is output to an engine control unit.

Abstract: A main controller calculates permissible driving forces of individual wheels from a road-surface friction coefficient, ground loads of the individual wheels, and lateral forces of the individual wheels. The main controller then calculates a permissible engine torque on the basis of the calculated permissible driving forces so as to limit engine output. In addition, based on the calculated permissible driving forces, the main controller calculates a transfer-clutch torque for front-rear driving-force distribution control, a rear-wheel torque shift amount for left-right driving-force distribution control, and a steering-angle correction amount for steering-angle control.
