Abstract
A coordinate-control-gain calculation sectioncalculates a coordinate-control final control torque T_C required to properly control the traveling behavior of a vehicle, and determines a coordinate control gain Kg on the basis of the magnitude of this torque T_C. An arbitration-request determination sectiondetermines the value of an arbitration request flag FRG_A on the basis of the magnitude of the torque T_C and the value of a flag FRG_L output so as to properly control the traveling behavior of a vehicle. On the basis of the value of the flag FRG_A and the magnitude of the coordinate-control arbitration torque Tr determined by use of the gain Kg, an arbitration sectionselects the torque T_C or the torque Tr to be output as a post-arbitration control torque T_F. A post-arbitration drive control sectionsupplies to an electric motor a drive current corresponding to the determined torque T_F.
