Abstract:
1. A vehicle controller comprising: a wheel speed sensor configured to detect rotational speed of driving wheels to which motive power is transmitted from a driving source through a power transmission mechanism including an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft being connected to the driving source, the output shaft being connected to the input shaft through a gear; a skid sensor configured to determine whether or not the driving wheels are skidding based on an output of the wheel speed sensor; an upper limit calculator configured to calculate an upper limit of rotational speed of the driving wheels if the skid sensor determines that the driving wheels are skidding; and a motive power controller configured to control motive power output from the driving source so that rotational speed of the driving wheels is equal to or smaller than the upper limit calculated by the upper limit calculator, wherein the wheel speed sensor is configured to detect rotational speed of driven wheels, and wherein the upper limit calculator calculates the upper limit of rotational speed based on
