VEHICLE MOTION CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a vehicle motion control device which can bring about an increase in stability and manoeuvrability by means of a low-cost and light-weight system. The device comprises a control means, which independently controls the driving force and/or braking force for each wheel among four wheels, and a turning direction detection means which detects the turning direction; the control means comprises an acceleration/deceleration instruction generation means which generates an acceleration/deceleration instruction on the basis of the detected steering angle and vehicle speed, and a driving force/braking force distribution means which determines the distribution of the driving force or driving torque and/or the braking force or braking torque for each wheel. The driving force/braking force distribution means makes a determination, on the basis of the acceleration/deceleration instruction and the turning direction, so that for the front wheels more driving force or driving torque and/or braking force or braking torque is distributed to the wheel on the inside of the turn than the wheel on the outside of the turn, and for the rear wheels more driving force or driving torque and/or braking force or braking torque is distributed to the wheel on the outside of the turn than the wheel on the inside of the turn.
