Abstract
A control device is disclosed for a torque distributor arranged between front and rear wheels that can achieve both reduction of vibrations and noises caused by torque transmitted to rear wheels by the torque distributor and securing of turning performance and driving performance. The control device is provided with a normative yaw rate calculation section for calculating a normative yaw rate that is a target value of a yaw rate when the vehicle turns and a yaw rate deviation calculation section for calculating a yaw rate deviation that is a difference between the normative yaw rate and the actual yaw rate. When the yaw rate deviation falls below a threshold Th, a value of a command torque is limited to a predetermined limit torque value, and when the yaw rate deviation exceeds a threshold Th, the limit of the command torque by a limit torque value is released.
