SOLUTION: A damping control device that controls driving power of a vehicle to reduce pitch or bounce vibration includes: a damping control part that controls a driving torque of an engine to suppress the amplitude of the pitch or the bounce vibration on the basis of a wheel torque generated at a contact portion between a wheel of the vehicle and a road surface; and a compensating component regulating part that varies the magnitude of a compensating component, which is calculated by a damping control part to compensate the wheel torque for damping control, on the basis of a change of characteristic such as a wear amount of a movable part of a throttle valve of the engine, and has a function to prevent the characteristics of the throttle valve movable part from being excessively changed. There is also provided a new configuration for estimating during traveling of the vehicle, a change state of the characteristics of a throttle valve movable part. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid temperature rising of a motor, an actuator, or its lead wire caused by vibrational change of an opening of an electric control type throttle in a vehicular vibration damping control device carrying out damping of pitch/bounce vibration of the vehicle by drive output control. SOLUTION: The vibration damping control device includes a damping control part carrying out pitch/bounce vibration damping by controlling driving torque of an engine, and a compensation component adjustment part reducing the magnitude of a compensation component for compensating for wheel torque calculated by the damping control part on the basis of a variation of a throttle opening of the engine. The reduction of the compensation portion is carried out when a temperature of a conductor supplying current to a throttle motor for adjusting the throttle opening estimated on the basis of the variation of the throttle opening becomes higher than a predetermined value.
