Abstract:
1. A drive control device for a vehicle comprising: an engagement mechanism which includes a revolution component that has plural teeth and is revolved by an output torque of an internal combustion engine, and a fixed component that has plural teeth and engages with the revolution component; a torque applying unit which applies a torque different from the output torque of the internal combustion engine, to the revolution component which receives the output torque of the internal combustion engine; a first transmitting control unit which engages the engagement mechanism to make the engagement mechanism receive a reaction force of the output torque of the internal combustion engine, and simultaneously executes a control for transmitting the output torque of the internal combustion engine to wheels; and a torque estimating control unit which executes a control for estimating the output torque of the internal combustion engine, wherein the torque estimating control unit comprises: wherein the phase change detecting unit detects that a phase of the revolution component is changed in a direction opposite to a direction of the output torque of the internal combustion engine, by the torque applied by the torque applying unit which is opposite to the output torque of the internal combustion engine, in order to detect the phase change.
