Abstract:
The driving force control device includes: a requested driving force calculation unit configured to calculate requested driving force requested to the vehicle, in a coasting state where neither an accelerator operation nor a brake operation is performed by a driver; a power train control unit configured to control a gear ratio of the power train on the basis of the requested driving force and driving force that is achieved by the power train in the coasting state; a braking force calculation unit configured to calculate braking force required for achieving the requested driving force, when the requested driving force is smaller than driving force that is achieved by the power train at a gear ratio set by the power train control unit; and a brake control unit configured to cause the brake to generate the braking force calculated by the braking force calculation unit.
