A target value obtaining section obtains a target value for the difference in rotational motion between a first motor and a second motor and a target value for output torque. A torque command value calculating section calculates a torque command value for the first motor and a torque command value for the second motor that achieve both of the target value for the difference in rotational motion and the target value for the output torque by using an inverse model of a motion model corresponding to a merging system.

Controller for vehicle

A safety device for a vehicle, capable of relaxing a collision load acting on a colliding body. The safety device () for a vehicle has colliding body receiving sections (), and opposite longitudinal ends of each colliding body receiving section () are bent to form legs () having ends (A). The ends (A) are fixed to side frames () on the vehicle body side to form impact absorption members (). The safety device () is adapted so that, while supporting a collision load, the impact absorption members () are displaced to absorb collision energy of the colliding body. The impact absorption members () can produce displacement regions that acts against an increase in the displacement in the direction of collision to suppress an increase in supporting load.
