Abstract
A driving control apparatus for a vehicle includes a surrounding environment recognition device, a brake control device, a drive force control device, and a control unit. The surrounding environment recognition device obtains surrounding environment information of the vehicle. The brake control device performs brake control for the vehicle. The drive force control device performs drive control of front wheels and rear wheels individually. The control unit at least includes a rough road area entry determiner which executes a determination of entry of the vehicle into a rough road area and a road surface μ estimator which estimates a friction coefficient of a wheel contact surface. The control unit executes first avoidance control and then second avoidance control when the vehicle is found to enter an area where it is likely to be stuck in the rough road area based on a determination result of the rough road area entry determiner.
