Abstract
The disclosed vehicle control device () controls outputs of a left driving source (L) and a right driving source (R) in a vehicle () provided with a left driving system including a left axle (L) and a left wheel (L) and a right driving system including a right axle (R) and a right wheel (R) and includes: a calculator () that calculates an equivalent sum value corresponding to a sum of a left requested torque and a right requested torque and an equivalent difference value corresponding to a difference between the left requested torque and the right requested torque; a sum model that models motion states of the left driving system and the right driving system while the vehicle () is running straight, the equivalent sum value being applied to the sum model; a difference model that models motion states of the left driving system and the right driving system while the vehicle () is cornering, the equivalent difference value being applied to the difference model; and a controller () that controls the outputs, using a sum-mode instruction torque and a difference-mode instruction torque obtained by application to the sum model and the difference model, respectively.
