Abstract
A traction control apparatus provided in an automotive vehicle includes a determining part for determining a slip ratio of driving wheels of the vehicle, a drive torque control part for performing a traction control process in which a driving force of the driving wheels is controlled such that the driving force is lowered to a smaller value when the slip ratio determined by the determining part is greater than a reference value, a detecting part for detecting a stalling condition of the vehicle, and a changing part for changing the traction control process performed by the drive torque control part when a stalling condition is detected by the detecting part, so as to increase the driving force of the driving wheels.
