Patent ID: 8676461

Claim:
A control apparatus for controlling acceleration of a vehicle provided with a motive power generation apparatus and brake apparatuses, comprising: calculation means for calculating an amount of torque to be requested, for feedback control of an actual value of the acceleration of the vehicle to a target value of the acceleration based on a difference between the actual value of the acceleration and the target value and a gain for the feedback control, wherein the calculation means comprises determining means for determining whether or not the brake apparatuses are used in performing the feedback control; and changing means for changing the value of the gain to be different from each other between a first case in which the determining means determines that the brake apparatuses are used when performing the feedback control and a second case in which the determining means determines that the brake apparatuses are not used when performing the feedback control; distribution means for distributing the calculated amount of torque to an amount of torque necessary for the motive power generation apparatus and an amount of torque necessary for the brake apparatuses; and actuating means for actuating the motive power generation apparatus and the brake apparatuses based on the calculated and distributed amounts of torque.
