Drive power control apparatus and method for vehicle
First Claim
1. A drive power control apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
- a controller that adjusts a drive power for driving a vehicle by adding, to a reference drive power, a drive power adjustment amount by which the drive power is adjusted, to compensate for a parameter outside said drive power control apparatus due to which a deviation between a nominal vehicle speed required by a driver and an actual vehicle speed or a deviation between a nominal acceleration required by the driver and an actual acceleration is generated, whereinwhen the vehicle enters into a curve or when the vehicle is traveling in the curve, the controller makes the drive power adjustment amount by which the drive power is adjusted less than the drive power adjustment amount by which the drive power is adjusted when the vehicle enters into a non-curve road or when the vehicle is traveling in the non-curve road, while maintaining the reference drive power.

Abstract
A drive power control apparatus for a vehicle includes a controller that adjusts the drive power for driving a vehicle to compensate for a parameter that affects the running state of the vehicle. When the vehicle enters a region where the acceleration of the vehicle needs to be changed based on the running environment or when the vehicle is traveling in the region in which the acceleration of the vehicle needs to be changed based on the running environment, the controller makes the amount by which the drive power is adjusted less than the amount by which the drive power is adjusted when the vehicle is traveling in a region other than the region in which the acceleration of the vehicle needs to be changed based on the running environment.

27. A drive power control method for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a first step in which a drive power for driving a vehicle by adding, to a reference drive power, a driver power adjustment amount by which the driver power is adjusted to compensate for a parameter outside said drive power control method that affects a running state of the vehicle due to which a deviation between a nominal vehicle speed required by a driver and an actual vehicle speed or a deviation between a nominal acceleration required by the driver and an actual acceleration is generated, and a second step in which, when the vehicle enters into a curve or when the vehicle is traveling in the curve, the drive power adjustment amount by which the drive power is adjusted is made less than the driver power adjustment amount by which the drive power is adjusted when the vehicle enters into a non-curve road or when the vehicle is traveling in the non-curve road while maintaining the reference driver power. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
