Abstract: A slip control apparatus is designed such that an output from the engine is rapidly reduced to a set limit value by a feed-forward control when a friction coefficient on pavement gets large and the engine output reduced to the set limit value is then returned to a set return value larger than the set limit value by the feed-forward control. After returning to the set return value, the engine output is subjected to feed-back control so as to turn a slip value of the driven wheel to a target value. The set limit and return values can be changed in accordance with the friction coefficient on pavement and a vehicle speed. The set limit and return values can be corrected in a direction in which they become larger when the slip value gets larger on account of the upshifting of the transmission.

Abstract: A slip control system for a vehicle contains a first control unit for implementing feedback control of torque applied to the driven wheels so as to allow an actual slip value of the driven wheel to reach a predetermined target value. There are set a first judgment value larger than the target value and a second judgment value smaller than the first judgment value. A second control unit is provided for temporarily reducing the torque applied to the driven wheel by a predetermined decrement, in place of the feedback control, when the actual slip value reaches the first judgment value or larger than the first judgment value. There is further provided a third control unit for gradually reducing the torque applied to the driven wheel, in place of the feedback control, when the actual slip value of the driven wheel does not reach the second judgment value or a value smaller than the second judgment value even if a predetermined period of time elapses after start of control by the second control unit.

Abstract: When a slip value of the driven wheel of a vehicle on a road surface reaches a predetermined value, the braking force is applied to the driven wheel by way of slip control. The slip control by application of the braking force to the driven wheel is inhibited when the vehicle speed reaches a high speed above a predetermined vehicle speed.
