Abstract
In a mode of a vehicle control apparatus according to the present invention, when running of a vehicle transitions from a transient state to a steady state, at least one of a target steering angular velocity and target acceleration/deceleration is controlled such that a target vehicle body sideslip angular velocity exhibits a predetermined temporal rate of change in the transient state. In addition, in a mode of a vehicle control method according to the present invention, a target steering angular velocity and target acceleration/deceleration are maintained constant in a section after a vehicle starts turning until the vehicle executes steady turning. In this way, the ground contact feel and the stability of a vehicle in a transient state during vehicle running can be improved.
Claims10
A vehicle control apparatus, wherein when running of a vehicle transitions from a transient state to a steady state, a control unit included in the vehicle control apparatus controls at least one of a target steering angular velocity and target acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle such that a target vehicle body sideslip angular velocity exhibits a predetermined temporal rate of change in the transient state.
A vehicle control method executed by a control unit provided in a vehicle, wherein the control unit maintains a target steering angular velocity and target acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle constant in a section after the vehicle starts turning until the vehicle executes steady turning.
