A control method for a vehicle, - wherein the vehicle is capable of decelerating by the regenerative braking of a motor connected to a drive shaft of a drive wheel (9a, 9b), and - wherein the method comprises: (i) a calculation step of calculating a torque command value (Tmf*) for suppressing a vibration component of the drive shaft by feeding back a torsional angular velocity (ωd) of the drive shaft and a desired torque (Tmt*) to calculate the torque command value (Tmf*) that determines the power of the motor; (ii) an estimation step of estimating a dead zone section, said dead zone section being where the torque of the motor in the vehicle transmitted to the drive shaft is limited, wherein: (a) based on a vehicle model a torsional angle estimated value (θd^) of the drive shaft is calculated, (b) in case that the torsional angle estimated value (θd^) is non-zero it is determined that the vehicle is not in the dead zone section, and (c) in case that the torsional angle estimated value (θd^) is zero it is determined that the vehicle is in the dead zone section; (iii) a limitation step of limiting the torque command value (Tmf*) in the case where the vehicle is estimated to be in the dead zone section; and (iv) a control step of controlling the operation of the motor on the basis of the torque command value (Tmf*). - wherein the vehicle is capable of decelerating by the regenerative braking of a motor connected to a drive shaft of a drive wheel (9a, 9b), and - wherein the method comprises: (i) a calculation step of calculating a torque command value (Tmf*) for suppressing a vibration component of the drive shaft by feeding back a torsional angular velocity (ωd) of the drive shaft and a desired torque (Tmt*) to calculate the torque command value (Tmf*) that determines the power of the motor; (ii) an estimation step of estimating a dead zone section, said dead zone section being where the torque of the motor in the vehicle transmitted to the drive shaft is limited, wherein: (a) based on a vehicle model a torsional angle estimated value (θd^) of the drive shaft is calculated, (b) in case that the torsional angle estimated value (θd^) is non-zero it is determined that the vehicle is not in the dead zone section, and (c) in case that the torsional angle estimated value (θd^) is zero it is determined that the vehicle is in the dead zone section; (iii) a limitation step of limiting the torque command value (Tmf*) in the case where the vehicle is estimated to be in the dead zone section; and (iv) a control step of controlling the operation of the motor on the basis of the torque command value (Tmf*).
