Abstract
In a traction control system for a vehicle, the rate of slip of the driving wheels is calculated on the basis of the rotational speed of the driving wheels and the vehicle speed and the output power of the engine is controlled with a control gain so that the rate of slip of the driving wheels converges on a predetermined target value when the rate of slip of the driving wheels exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The control gain of the engine control for reducing the output power of the engine is set larger when the vehicle is making a turn than when the vehicle is running straight.
