Abstract
A driving system used for torque control is provided with: first and second speed sensors on first and second shafts; first output devices drivingly coupled to the first and second shaft; and an electronic control unit electrically connected to the first and second speed sensors and the first and second output devices and including a storage unit storing one or more values of differential torque ratios, the electronic control unit being configured to fetch a target torque value, determine a rotation speed difference, determine a sign from the determined difference and the target torque value, fetch one of the values from the storage unit, calculate from the fetched value and the determined sign a first distribution ratio, and perform control to cause the first and second output devices to output torques obtained by multiplying the calculated first distribution ratios by the target torque value.
