Abstract
A traction control method for a vehicle, comprising the steps of: judging an excessive slipping state of a plurality of driving wheels by taking into account, as at least one judgment requirement, whether or not a driving-wheel speed exceeds a braking-force controlling target wheel speed determined by taking into account a predetermined slip rate of a vehicle speed, and controlling a braking force for the driving wheels in accordance with the result of the judgment, wherein the intensity of a slipping tendency for every one of the driving wheels is determined on the basis of a judgment value which is set larger than the vehicle speed and smaller than the braking-force controlling target wheel speed, and the smaller the number of the driving wheels determined to have a large slipping tendency, the more the braking-force controlling target wheel speed is increased. This prevents the occurrence of an excessive control of braking force, when the slipping tendency of only a part of the driving wheels is large.
