Vehicle turning efficiency improving apparatus

Abstract

A vehicle turning efficiency improving apparatus is applicable to an automotive vehicle (20) of a type equipped with either a braking system (4L, 4R, etc.) or a driving train (6), which is capable of performing a braking force control or a driving force control separately on vehicle wheels (1L and 1R) and a steering unit (3) capable of steering the left and right vehicle wheels (1L and 1R) separately. A control unit (9) is provided for performing a turn assist control, in which a time difference is generated in steering operation of the left and right vehicle wheels (1L, 1R) and a braking/driving force difference is generated in the left and right vehicle wheels (1L, 1R) to thereby generate a yaw moment.
