Abstract
A traction control method for a vehicle which includes the steps of generating a braking force in drive wheel brake devices when it is determined that a drive wheel shows a slipping tendency, wherein the control mode for left and right drive wheel brake devices is switchable between an independent mode for independently controlling braking forces in the left and right drive wheel brake devices and a collective control mode for collectively controlling braking forces of these brake devices, and controlling the braking forces of the brake devices in the independent control mode in response to a condition in which the absolute value of a difference between left and right drive wheel speeds exceeds a predetermined value.
