1. A vehicle driving force control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- an actuating section to control a driving force of the vehicle to achieve a target acceleration;
a running resistance estimating section to calculate an estimated running resistance; and
a target acceleration modifying section to modify the target acceleration with the estimated running resistance and thereby to decrease the target acceleration with increase in the estimated running resistance.

Abstract
In a vehicle driving force control apparatus for controlling a driving force of the vehicle to achieve a target acceleration or a target vehicle speed, a running resistance estimating section calculates an estimated running resistance. A target acceleration modifying section modifies the target acceleration with the estimated running resistance and thereby decreases the target acceleration with increase in the estimated running resistance.

15. A vehicle driving force control apparatus for controlling a driving force of a vehicle:
-
first means for calculating a target acceleration in accordance with a driver'"'"'s accelerator input;
second means for calculating an estimated running resistance;
third means for calculating a modified target acceleration by modifying the target acceleration determined by the first means, with the estimated running resistance so that the modified target acceleration decreases as the estimated running resistance increases; and
fourth means for controlling the driving force of the vehicle so as to achieve the modified target acceleration.
