Abstract

A driving force control system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an absolute bank angle detector configured to detect an absolute bank angle that is the absolute value of a vehicle's bank angle; a calculation circuit configured to calculate a relative bank angle that is the vehicle's relative angle with respect to a maximum absolute bank angle that is the maximum value of the absolute bank angle; and a controller configured to control driving force based on the relative bank angle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A driving force control system comprising:
an absolute bank angle detector which detects an absolute bank angle that is an absolute value of a vehicle's bank angle, the absolute bank angle having a maximum value at which the absolute bank angle that has been rising starts to fall;
a calculation circuit which calculates a relative bank angle that is an angle measured between the detected absolute bank angle and a maximum absolute bank angle, the maximum abs…
