Traction control device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A traction control device comprising:
- a wheel speed detection mechanism for detecting a wheel speed of a drive wheel in a vehicle;
an acceleration slip detection mechanism for detecting acceleration slip of the drive wheel based upon a wheel speed detected by the wheel speed detection mechanism;
a driving force reduction mechanism for reducing a driving force transmitted to the drive wheel such that the acceleration slip is suppressed when the acceleration slip is detected by the acceleration slip detection mechanism; and
an engine speed detection mechanism for detecting a speed of an engine mounted in the vehicle, wherein reduction of the driving force by the driving force reduction mechanism is stopped when the engine speed detected by the engine speed detection mechanism exceeds a predetermined speed.

Abstract
A newly obtained wheel speed of a drive wheel is not used in a calculation for acceleration slip when a vehicle is stopped, for example, when the wheel speed of a rolling wheel is zero and an engine speed is high. A wheel speed calculated before a previous wheel speed is, for example, set as a current wheel speed. In this manner, even if the wheel speed of a driving wheel is due to the effect of racing noise, it is possible to limit erroneous determinations that indicate acceleration slip is being generated, based upon such a wheel speed. In addition, unnecessary execution of a traction control can also be curbed.
