  • a deceleration force estimation module that estimates a deceleration force in a vehicle longitudinal direction, which is caused by steering of the vehicle and is applied to reduce speed of the vehicle;

    a control value calculation module that adjusts phases of a longitudinal acceleration in the vehicle longitudinal direction and a lateral acceleration in a vehicle lateral direction out of a steering-based acceleration, which is caused by steering of the vehicle and is applied to the vehicle, based on the estimated deceleration force, so as to calculate an adjustment control value that is used to adjust the steering-based acceleration; and

    a driving control module that drives and controls the driving source to ensure output of a driving force to an axle based on a drive change demand of the vehicle and the calculated adjustment control value.
