Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A driving force control system for a vehicle having a mechanism for changing an engine speed continuously. The driving force control system basically controls said mechanism in a manner such that the engine speed is adjusted to optimize fuel economy. The driving force control system is configured to determine an index representing a demand to enhance agility of behavior of the vehicle based on an actual behavior of the vehicle or an amount of operation carried out by a driver to cause said behavior. An upper limit value of the engine speed of the case in which a drive demand is increased is determined on the basis of the index, and the upper limit value is set to the higher value with an increase in the index representing the demand to enhance agility of behavior of the vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A driving force control system for a vehicle having a transmission mechanism for changing an engine speed continuously in accordance with a vehicle speed, comprising a control unit configured to: control a speed ratio of the speed of the transmission mechanism on the basis of a vehicle speed and an opening degree of an accelerator; determine an index representing a demand to enhance agility of behavior of the vehicle based on an acceleration of the v…
