Control apparatus for vehicle

A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a braking/driving force varying device capable of individually changing a braking/driving force acting on each of wheels, with respect to the each wheel, said control apparatus comprising:

• a controller, which controls a state quantity corresponding to a motion state of the vehicle and a steering reaction force transmitted to a steering apparatus from the wheel by controlling a left-right braking/driving force difference of front wheels and a left-right braking/driving force difference of rear wheels as control parameters, configured to
• set a target state quantity which is a target value of the state quantity corresponding to a target motion state of the vehicle which is a target value of the motion state,
• obtain the left-right braking/driving force difference of front wheels and the left-right braking/driving force difference of rear wheels, that makes the state quantity and the steering reaction force be the set target state quantity and a predetermined target steering reaction force,
• set a target braking/driving force, which is a target value of the braking driving force, such that the obtained left-right braking/driving force difference of front wheels and the obtained left-right braking/driving force difference of rear wheels, that make a state quantity corresponding to the target state quantity and a steering reaction force transmitted to a steering apparatus from the wheel be the set target state quantity and a predetermined target steering reaction force, respectively, are realized, on the basis of a relative relation, which is set in advance, between the state quantity and the steering reaction force, and the left braking/driving force difference of front wheels and the left-right braking/driving force difference of rear wheels to specify a driver's intention associated with a motion state of the vehicle and including at least an intention related to acceleration and deceleration, and
• adjust the set target braking/driving force in accordance with the specified driver's intention.
