ABSTRACT:
A slip rate of the driven wheel is calculated (at step S1). When the slip rate is smaller and when the slip rate is larger (at steps S2 and S3), estimated road surface friction coefficients MUTG and MUFG are determined by searching a table, based on a total grip force TGS or a longitudinal grip force FG determined from a vehicle acceleration (at steps S4, S7, S5 and S9). The larger one of the estimated road surface friction coefficients MUTG and MUFG is selected as MUCON (at steps S10, S11 and S12). A minimum total grip force TGMIN determined by searching a table and based on MUCON is compared with the total grip force TGS determined from the vehicle acceleration (at step S13), and the larger one of the minimum total grip force TGMIN and total grip force TGS is delivered as a total grip force TG for traction control (at steps S14 and S15). Thus, it is possible to estimate a correct total grip force, taking the road surface friction coefficient into consideration.
