VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM

A control system of a vehicle includes a driving source configured to generate a driving force of the vehicle and transmit the driving force to driving wheels, without intervention of a torque converter, a transmission provided between the driving source and the driving wheels, a friction engagement element used for starting the vehicle, the friction engagement element being provided between the driving source and the driving wheels so as to be engageable and disengageable, and a controller configured to control an engaging force of the friction engagement element to adjust the driving force transmitted from the driving source to the driving wheels. The controller sets a target acceleration of the vehicle based on a rotational speed difference between an input rotational speed and an output rotational speed of the transmission, and controls the engaging force based on the target acceleration.
