Abstract
A vehicle travel control apparatus executes turning facilitation control that controls wheel longitudinal force such that the longitudinal force of a turning path inner side wheel becomes smaller than the longitudinal force of a turning path outer side wheel, and vehicle dynamics control that controls wheel longitudinal force so as to stabilize the turning motion of the vehicle. The vehicle speed range in which to permit the turning facilitation control is lower than the vehicle speed range in which to permit the vehicle dynamics control.
Claims18
A vehicle travel control apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to execute a turning facilitation control that controls wheel longitudinal force such that a longitudinal force of a turning path inner side wheel becomes smaller than a longitudinal force of a turning path outer side wheel and a vehicle dynamics control that controls wheel longitudinal force so as to stabilize turning motion of the vehicle, wherein
- a vehicle speed range in which to permit the turning facilitation control is lower than a vehicle speed range in which to permit the vehicle dynamics control.
A circuitry implemented method comprising;
