Abstract:
A vehicle driving force control apparatus comprising:a zone attribute detecting component configured and arranged to detect at least two different zones with different zone attributes in which a vehicle travels; a requested driving force detecting component configured and arranged to detect a requested driving force requested by a driver; and a target driving force computing component configured to calculate a target driving force based on a requested driving force that is adjusted by a final compensation driving force, the target driving force computing component including a zone attribute compensation control section being configured to calculate a compensation driving force according to which of the zone attributes is being detected, a compensation driving force upper limit value setting section being configured to set an upper limit value for the compensation driving force according to an amount of the requested driving force that is detected by the requested driving force detecting component, the target driving force computing component being further configured to set the final compensation driving force as a value that is obtained by limiting the compensation driving force calculated by the zone attribute compensation control section with the upper limit value of the compensation driving force.
