TURNING CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

摘要

The disclosed turning control device for a vehicle is capable of generating a yaw moment on a vehicle body by applying braking force to the left and right wheel axes of the vehicle, on the basis of the travelling state of the vehicle. The disclosed turning control device is provided with: a steering amount detection means, which detects the steering amount of the vehicle; a vehicle speed detection means which either detects or estimates the speed of the vehicle; a feed-forward control amount calculation unit which calculates a feed-forward control amount on the basis of a detection signal from at least the steering amount detection means; a braking force control amount calculation unit which determines a braking force control amount on the basis of the feed-forward control amount calculated by the feed-forward control amount calculation unit; a braking control means which controls the braking force on the basis of the braking force control amount determined by the braking force control amount calculation unit; and a steering direction determination means which determines if the steering direction is in the direction whereby the steering wheel is moved away from the central position or that whereby the steering wheel is moved back toward the central position, on the basis of the detection signal from the steering amount detection means. The feed-forward control amount calculation unit is provided with a feed-forward control amount correction unit which corrects the feed-forward control amount according to the result of the determination of the steering direction determination means.
