Abstract
A slip angle differential value calculation unit 34 calculates a slip angle differential value of a body of a vehicle, a braking force application prohibiting unit 35 prohibits the application of braking force by a braking force application unit 33 when a yaw rate detection value takes a positive value and the sip angle differential value is a positive judgment threshold or more or when the yaw rate detection value takes a negative value and the slip angle differential value is a negative judgment threshold or less.
Claims2
A vehicle behavior control apparatus comprising:
- a vehicle body speed detection unit which detects a vehicle velocity of a vehicle
- a steering angle detection unit which detects a steering angle of a steering wheel
- a standard yaw rate calculation unit which calculates, based on the vehicle velocity and the steering angle, a standard yaw rate of the vehicle which has a positive or negative sign in accordance with a turning direction of the vehicle,
- a yaw rate detection unit which detects a yaw rate of the vehicle as a detection value having a positive or negative sign in accordance with a turning direction of the vehicle, and
- a braking force application unit which applies braking force to wheels of the vehicle on an internal side of a turning circle in accordance with a difference between the standard yaw rate and the yaw rate detection value at the time of vehicle turning,
- a slip angle differential value calculation unit which calculates a slip angle differential value of the vehicle body;
- and
- a braking force application prohibition unit which prohibits the application of a braking force by the braking force application unit when:
- the yaw rate detection value is a positive value and the slip angle differential value is a positive judgment threshold or more;
- or
- the yaw rate detection value is a negative value and the slip angle differential value is a negative judgment threshold or less.
