ABSTRACT:
A vehicle traction control device includes an engine output controller for deactivating the combustion stroke of an engine in order to control the vehicle traction, a vehicle speed judgment circuit for judging whether or not a speed detected by a vehicle speed detector is lower than a preset speed, and an engine revolution-number judgment circuit for judging whether or not a value detected by an engine revolution-number detector exceeds a preset value, wherein the vehicle speed judgment circuit and the engine revolution-number judgment circuit are connected to the engine output controller so as to deactivate the engine combustion stroke when the vehicle speed is lower than the preset speed and the number of revolution of the engine exceeds the preset value. The vehicle traction control device further includes an excessive slip detector for detecting an excessive slip in a driving wheel which is driven by the engine, a vehicle speed index output circuit for outputting an index representative of the vehicle speed, and a combustion stroke deactivating period setting circuit for reducing the rate of a period of deactivating the engine combusion stroke per revolution of the engine, caused by the engine output controller, in accordance with the index, wherein the engine output controller operates also in response to detection of an excessive slip by the excessive slip detector. Thereby excessive slip in the vehicle driving wheels is controlled so that the traction for the vehicle is prevented from deteriorating.
