Abstract
In order to properly perform vibration damping control in a vehiclein which vibration occurs due to driving characteristics, a vibration damping control deviceperforms sprung vibration damping control of suppressing sprung vibration generated in the vehicle, by control of the torque that is generated in wheelsof the vehicle, with this vibration damping control deviceperforming vibration damping control suppression control of stopping sprung vibration damping control, or reducing a control amount of sprung vibration damping control, on the basis of engine speed and engine torque of an enginethat is a power source of the vehicleduring travel. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent vibration damping control from being brought to an inappropriate state, due to a travel state of substantial vibration, during vibration damping control.
