Abstract
A driving force control device for a vehicle having a driving unit capable of individually driving a left wheel and a right wheel, includes: a torque calculation unit for calculating a torque command value which is a torque to be generated in each of the left wheel and the right wheel; a traveling direction calculation unit for calculating a current traveling direction of the vehicle; a target traveling direction calculation unit for calculating a future target traveling direction of the vehicle by using at least one of information on a road surface on which the vehicle travels and external information of the vehicle, and; the torque calculation unit calculates a calculation command value so as to bring the current traveling direction close to the target traveling direction, and outputs the calculation command value to the driving unit as the torque command value.
