Abstract
A drive force control method for a vehicle, the vehicle having an accelerator pedal, a motive force source that outputs a driving force in the form of a rotation according to an accelerator opening of the accelerator pedal, a drive wheel, and a transmission that transmits the rotation output from the motive force source to the drive wheel after changing a rotation speed thereof, the method including detecting the accelerator opening, detecting a vehicle running condition, calculating a target vehicle drive force based on the accelerator opening, calculating a target input rotation speed of the transmission based on the target vehicle drive force, calculating a target input torque of the transmission based on the target vehicle drive force, and calculating a target vehicle drive force in a vehicle deceleration state that is a variable value depending on the vehicle running condition.
