ABSTRACT:
A driving force control apparatus includes a driver model that is a functional block adjusting characteristics relevant to human senses, and a powertrain manager that is a functional block adjusting hardware characteristics of a vehicle. The driver model includes a target base driving force calculation unit (static characteristics) using a base driving force map for example for calculating a target driving force from an accelerator pedal position, an OWC disengagement-to-synchronism dead time calculation unit, and a target transient characteristics addition unit using transient characteristics represented by a transfer function including a dead time to calculate a final target driving force from the target driving force. The target transient characteristics addition unit sets the dead time in the transient characteristics represented by “second-order lag system+dead time” based on the time required for a one-way clutch to change to the synchronous state.
