Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control device mounted on a four-wheel drive vehicle includes: a slip ratio calculating unit that obtains a slip ratio of main driving wheels based at least on wheel speeds; a smoothing unit that smooths the slip ratio by filtering; and a driving force control unit that controls a driving force transmission device so that a driving force that is transmitted to auxiliary driving wheels increases as the slip ratio smoothed by the smoothing unit increases. The smoothing unit uses a larger time constant for the filtering when a vehicle speed is less than a predetermined value than when the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the predetermined value
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A control device for a driving force transmission device which is mounted on a four-wheel drive vehicle having a main driving wheel to which a driving force of a driving source is constantly transmitted and an auxiliary driving wheel to which the driving force of the driving source is adjustably transmitted according to a traveling state of the vehicle via the driving force transmission device, and which controls the driving force transmission device, comprising: a slip ratio calculating unit that obtains a slip ratio of the main driving wheel based at least on a wheel speed of the main driving wheel; a smoothing unit that performs filtering to smooth the slip ratio obtained by the slip ratio calculating unit; and a driving force control unit that controls the driving force transmission device so that the driving force that is transmitted to the auxiliary driving wheel increases as the slip ratio smoothed by the smoothing unit increases, wherein the smoothing unit uses a larger time constant for the filtering when a vehicle speed is less than a predetermined value than when the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the predetermined value. 2. The control device for the driving force transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the smoothing unit performs the filtering by using different time constants depending on whether the slip ratio obtained by the slip ratio calculating unit is increasing or decreasing, at least in a part of a vehicle speed range.
