VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A vehicle control device includes a friction brake orientation control device, a damping force control device, a state quantity detection device, and an orientation control device. The damping force control device calculates a brake orientation control amount for a friction brake to change the orientation of a vehicle body to a target orientation. The damping force control device calculates a shock absorber orientation control amount for a variable-damping-force shock absorber to change the orientation of the vehicle body to the target orientation. The state quantity detection device detects a state quantity indicating vehicle body orientation. The orientation control device controls vehicle body orientation when the value of the detected state quantity is less than a predetermined value, and controls vehicle body orientation via the friction brake orientation control device when the value of the detected state quantity is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.

1. A vehicle control device comprising:
a friction brake orientation control device configured to calculate a brake orientation control amount for a friction brake so as to change the orientation of a vehicle body to a target orientation, and configured to output the amount to a friction brake; a damping force control device configured to calculate a shock absorber orientation control amount for a variable-damping-force shock absorber so as to change the orientation of the vehicle body to the target orientation, and configured to output the shock absorber orientation control amount to the variable-damping-force shock absorber; a state quantity detection device configured to detect a state quantity indicating vehicle body orientation; and an orientation control device configured to control vehicle body orientation via the damping force control device when the absolute value of the amplitude of the detected state quantity is less than a predetermined value, and configured to control vehicle body orientation via the friction brake orientation control device instead of the damping force control device when the absolute value of the amplitude is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.
