Patent ID: 8364368

Claim:
In an acceleration control apparatus for a vehicle comprising: a feed-forward control portion for carrying out a feed-forward control based on an input torque to output a feed-forward torque; and a feedback control portion for carrying out a feedback control based on a predetermined parameter to output a feedback torque, wherein the acceleration control apparatus outputs a demand torque based on the feed-forward torque and the feedback torque in order to control an acceleration of a vehicle in a vehicle traveling direction, the acceleration control apparatus further comprising: a calculating portion for calculating a degree of reliability for the input torque to the feed-forward control portion, wherein the degree of reliability is calculated based on one of a plurality of disturbance factors affecting reliability for the feed-forward torque; and a correcting portion for correcting the feedback torque in such a way that a gain for the feedback control portion is increased in accordance with a decrease of the degree of reliability for the input torque calculated at the calculating portion.
