Abstract:
A drive force control system that ensures a running stability and a driving performance of a vehicle even in the event of failure of one of motors. The drive force control system determines that one of the right motor and the left motor cannot generate a required torque due to failure. In the event of failure of any one of the motors, the drive force control system generates a torque by the other motor working properly, and controls the torque transmitting capacity of the clutch in such a manner as to deliver the output torque of the motor working properly to the wheel coupled to the faulty motor.

Claim (Index 1):
A drive force control system, comprising:\n a right motor coupled to a right wheel of a vehicle; a left motor coupled to a left wheel of the vehicle; a clutch that allows a torque transmission between the right motor and the left motor, in which a torque transmitting capacity is variable; and a controller that controls output torques of the right motor and the left motor, wherein the controller is configured to determine that one of the right motor and the left motor cannot generate a required torque due to failure, generate a torque by the other one of the right motor and the left motor in the event of failure of said one of the right motor and the left motor, and control the torque transmitting capacity of the clutch in such a manner as to deliver the output torque of the motor working properly at least partially to the wheel coupled to the faulty motor.
