Abstract:
A drive force control system to improve efficiency of a vehicle by controlling motors connected to drive wheels. A controller is configured to: calculate a total required torque of the drive unit; obtain combinations of a first interim torque of a first motor and a second interim torque of a second motor to achieve the total required torque; select a combination of the first interim torque and the second interim torque to minimize an output of a power source; and output the first interim torque of the first motor and the second interim torque of the second motor based on the selected combination.

Claim (Index 1):
A drive force control system, comprising:\n a drive unit including a first motor connected to a right drive wheel, a second motor connected to a left drive wheel, a clutch that allows a torque transmission between the first motor and the second motor; in which a torque transmitting capacity is variable, an electrical power source that supplies electric power to the first motor and the second motor, and a controller that controls output torques of the first motor and the second motor, wherein the controller is configured to calculate a total required torque of the drive unit, obtain a plurality of combinations of a first interim torque of the first motor and a second interim torque of the second motor to achieve the total required torque of the drive unit, select a combination of the first interim torque of the first motor and the second interim torque of the second motor to minimize an output electric power of the electrical power source, and output the first interim torque of the first motor and the second interim torque of the second motor based on the selected combination.
