In a system for computing a road surface frictional coefficient for controlling a motion of a vehicle, the road surface frictional coefficient is estimated according to the deviation of the estimated vehicle body fore-and-aft/lateral acceleration from the actually detected vehicle body fore-and-aft/lateral acceleration, instead of estimating it directly from the tire slip ratio so that the road surface frictional coefficient is prevented from being estimated substantially higher than it actually is. In particular, by judging a sudden change in the road surface frictional coefficient only when a change in the road surface frictional coefficient, in particular an increase in the frictional coefficient, has persisted for more than a prescribed time period, an error in the estimation of the road surface frictional coefficient can be minimized, and a favorable vehicle motion control based on the estimated road surface frictional coefficient can be ensured under all conditions.
