Vehicle attitude control system

A vehicle attitude control system for controlling an attitude of a vehicle having front and rear road wheels in which a road wheel suspension is configured such that a roll axis of a vehicle body inclines downwardly in a forward direction, comprising:

• a lateral acceleration sensor configured to detect a lateral acceleration of the vehicle being traveling;
• a brake actuator configured to apply a braking force to each road wheel of the vehicle;
• and
• a brake control device configured to send a control signal to the brake actuator to cause the brake actuator to generate the braking force, based on a traveling state of the vehicle,
• wherein the brake control device is configured to execute vehicle attitude control and pre-brake limited slip differential (LSD) control during turning of the vehicle based on turning manipulation of a steering wheel of the vehicle,
• wherein in the vehicle attitude control, a braking force applied to an inner rear road wheel is greater when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined lateral acceleration value than the braking force applied when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is less than the predetermined lateral acceleration value, thereby suppressing uplift of an inner rear portion of the vehicle body, and
• wherein in the pre-brake LSD control, a braking force less than a braking force applied by the vehicle attitude control is continuously applied to the inner rear road wheel while the vehicle is turning.
