A motion control device for a vehicle, including a braking means for applying a brake torque to a wheel of the vehicle and maintaining a traveling stability of the vehicle by controlling the braking means, the motion control device for the vehicle, includes a steering angular velocity obtaining means for obtaining a steering angular velocity of the vehicle, a yaw angular acceleration obtaining means for obtaining a yaw angular acceleration of the vehicle, and a control means for controlling the brake torque on the basis of the steering angular velocity and the yaw angular acceleration.

Motion control device for vehicle

A vehicle motion control apparatus includes hydraulic pressure applying means for applying hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder side of any of plural solenoid valves, respectively arranged between a master cylinder and plural wheel cylinders, for the corresponding wheel cylinders even when an operator of the vehicle does not operate a brake operation member, motor controlling means for controlling an output of the electric motor to be reduced in accordance with a condition of a road surface when the hydraulic pressure is applied to the wheel cylinder, and valve controlling means for controlling the operation of the solenoid valve to increase an amount of the brake fluid flown by the operation of the solenoid valve before the output of the electric motor is reduced when the output of the electric motor is controlled to be reduced.

Vehicle motion control apparatus

A vehicle motion control apparatus includes a motion controlling process operating a pump for supplying brake fluid between a pressure difference control valve and a pressure increasing control valve and controlling the pressure difference control valve and the pressure increasing control valve, thereby pressurizing the wheel cylinder of the wheel to be controlled, a control amount adjusting process reducing a control amount of a motor when a frictional coefficient of a road surface is small, a load judging process judging a load condition of the motor when determining to reduce the control amount of the motor, and a pressure difference controlling process reducing the pressure difference when the load of the motor is in a high load condition.

A vehicle motion control apparatus includes a first means applying a first braking force to an outer wheel, relative to a turning direction, for suppressing oversteer when the vehicle is judged to be skidding in vehicle turning movement, a second means obtaining a state of a driver's steering operation in the vehicle turning movement, a third means applying a second braking force, set to be smaller than the first braking force, to a wheel located at a horizontally opposite side of the outer wheel to which the first braking force is applied, when the state of the driver's steering operation is judged to be in a steering turning back state, in which a steering wheel is turned from a turning direction to a reverse direction of the turning direction, based on the state of the driver's steering operation obtained by the second means.
