Abstract
A control apparatus configured to control a driving force transmission apparatus. The control apparatus includes a torque command value calculator configured to calculate a torque command value for the right and left rear wheels based on a front-rear wheel rotation speed difference, a command value limiter configured to limit the torque command value to a value equal to or smaller than an upper limit value, and a current controller configured to control a current to be supplied to the driving force transmission apparatus so that a driving force determined based on the torque command value is transmitted to the right and left rear wheels. When the front-rear wheel rotation speed difference increases, the command value limiter sets the upper limit value smaller as a change amount of the front-rear wheel rotation speed difference per unit time increases.
