Abstract
In order to improve the cornering of a vehicle under braking, control is based on the single angle and the rate at which the steering angle is changing. When the rate at which the steering angle is changing is high the braking force on the outboard side of the vehicle with respect to the direction in which it is turning, is reduced with respect to that on the inboard side while in the case that the steering angle is relatively large, the braking force on the inboard side is reduced with respect to that on the outboard side. As an alternative to brake force reduction, it is possible to increase the braking force on the side opposite to that wherein reduction would be implemented. Parameters which are used to weight the control are steering angle acceleration, which speed, and vehicle deceleration.
