Vehicle behavior control device and vehicle behavior control method

A vehicle behavior control method of controlling, using a processor, a behavior of a vehicle when another vehicle is predicted to collide with a side surface of the vehicle, wherein brakes corresponding to respective vehicle wheels are allowed to be individually and independently controlled,

• the vehicle behavior control method comprising:
• an other vehicle detecting step of detecting the another vehicle;
• a collision predicting step of predicting that the another vehicle will collide with the side surface of the vehicle;
• a physical quantity determination step of determining a physical quantity relationship between relative physical quantities of the another vehicle and the vehicle;
• and
• a brake controlling step of causing a braking force of the brakes on a collision side and a braking force of the brakes on a non-collision side to differ from each other, in accordance with the physical quantity relationship determined in the physical quantity determination step, in a case that a collision is predicted in the collision predicting step.
