Patent attributes
There is provided a motor control device that is configured to control a drive motor configured to output a driving force to a wheel, the motor control device including: a calculation circuit that is configured to calculate an instruction value based on an amount of an accelerator operation, a motor rotation speed, and an amount of a change operation; and a control circuit that is configured to control the driving force of the drive motor in accordance with the instruction value from the calculation circuit. The calculation circuit is configured to form a virtual clutch configured to change a power transmission ratio between the drive motor and the wheel according to the amount of the change operation, and to calculate the instruction value corresponding to coasting traveling according to the motor rotation speed when the virtual clutch is disengaged.
