Abstract: A vehicular differential device includes a differential rotation mechanism, and a torque input member that receives drive torque, the drive torque is distributed and transmitted to a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft. The differential rotation mechanism includes an input gear that rotates as a unit with the torque input member, an output gear that rotates as a unit with the first drive shaft, a first gear and a second gear that rotate as a unit, and a carrier that supports the first gear and the second gear, the carrier being configured to rotate as a unit with the second drive shaft. The gear ratio between the input gear and the first gear is different from that between the output gear and the second gear. During differential rotation, the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft are rotated in opposite directions.

Abstract: A downsized torque vectoring device that is easily to be mounted on an automobile. The torque vectoring device comprises: a differential mechanism that allows a first driveshaft and second driveshaft to rotate at different speeds; an actuator that applies a control torque to the differential mechanism to rotate the first driveshaft and the second driveshaft at different speeds; and a reversing mechanism that allows the first driveshaft and the second driveshaft to rotate in opposite directions. A gear ratio of a first gear train and a gear ratio of the second gear train are different from each other.

Abstract: A drive force control system configured to achieve a yaw rate required by a driver. A first target yaw rate is calculated based on a steering angle, and a second target yaw rate is calculated based on a steering torque. A first target torque of a right wheel and a second target torque of a left wheel are calculated based on a first difference between the first target yaw rate and an actual yaw rate. the first target torque is corrected based on the second target yaw rate and the actual yaw rate to obtain a third target torque, and the second target torque is corrected based on the second target yaw rate and the actual yaw rate to obtain a fourth target torque. A controller transmit signals to the drive unit to achieve the third target torque and to achieve the fourth target torque.

Abstract: A drive force control system to increase a yaw rate greater than the yaw rate achieved by rotating a steering wheel to a maximum angle. A target yaw rate is calculated based on a steering angle of the steering wheel. A first predetermined torque and a second predetermined torque are calculated based on a difference between the target yaw rate and an actual yaw rate. When the steering angle of the steering wheel exceeds a first predetermined angle, a first correction torque to correct the first predetermined torque and a second correction torque to correct the second predetermined torque are calculated in accordance with the steering torque.

Abstract: A brake operating device to improve a brake feeling by a simple structure without a hydraulic source or an electric power source. A first reaction force establishing mechanism as an elastic member establishes the reaction force against the pedal force applied to the brake pedal. A second reaction force establishing mechanism increases the reaction force when depressing the brake pedal. The first reaction force establishing mechanism and the second reaction force establishing mechanism are arranged coaxially in series.

Abstract: A driving force control system for a vehicle is provided to control a torque vectoring device is provided. A controller is configured to bring the torque vectoring device into a preparatory state in which the differential torque and the differential limit torque are equalized to each other when shifting the operating mode between the differential mode and the differential limit mode, and to shift the operating mode of the torque vectoring device by gradually reducing a difference between the differential torque and the differential limit torque.
