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.
