Abstract

Provided is a vehicle body vibration control device (10) for a vehicle, including a request driving force calculation unit (20) calculating a driver'"'"'s request driving force, a driving unit (16) applying a driving force to a vehicle (12), a driving force control unit (22) controlling the driving unit based on a command driving force, a notch filter (24) receiving a signal indicating the request driving force, processing the signal so as to reduce a frequency component of vibration of a vehicle body, and outputting the processed signal to the driving force control unit as a signal indicating the command driving force, and a command driving force correction unit 30 correcting, when any one of a predetermined shifting operation and a predetermined changing operation for a vehicle traveling mode is performed, the command driving force to the driver'"'"'s request driving force of the driver.

Claims

1. A vehicle body vibration control device for a vehicle, comprising:

a request driving force calculation unit configured to calculate a request driving force of a driver;

a driving unit configured to apply a driving force to the vehicle;

a driving force control unit configured to control said driving unit based on a command driving force;

a notch filter configured to receive a signal indicating the request driving force from said request driving force calculation unit, subject the signal to filter processing, and output the signal subjected to the filter processing to said driving force control unit as a signal indicating the command driving force, said notch filter having a notch frequency set to a value for reducing a frequency component of vibration of a vehicle body; and

a command driving force correction unit configured to correct, when the driver performs any one of a predetermined shifting operation and a predetermined changing operation for a vehicle traveling mode, the command driving force to a value closer to the request driving force of the driver than to the command driving force.

2. A vehicle body vibration control device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said command driving force correction unit is configured to correct the command driving force to the request driving force of the driver.

3. A vehicle body vibration control device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said predetermined shifting operation comprises a shifting operation to be performed between a shift position where the driving force is applied to the vehicle and a shift position where no driving force is applied to the vehicle.

4. A vehicle body vibration control device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said predetermined changing operation for the vehicle traveling mode comprises a changing operation for the vehicle traveling mode, which involves a change of responsiveness of the driving force of the vehicle to a driving operation performed by the driver.

5. A vehicle body vibration control device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said predetermined shifting operation comprises a shifting operation to be performed between a shift position where the driving force is applied to the vehicle and a shift position where no driving force is applied to the vehicle.

6. A vehicle body vibration control device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said predetermined shifting operation comprises a shifting operation to be performed between a shift position where the driving force is applied to the vehicle and a shift position where no driving force is applied to the vehicle.
