Abstract
A behavior control device of a vehicle having a means for estimating slip ratio of a pair of left and right drive wheels; a means for estimating lateral force acting at the vehicle body due to its turn running to provide a factor representative of the lateral force; and a means for estimating a target braking force to be generated in one of a pair of front driven wheels serving at the outside of the turn when the vehicle is a rear drive vehicle or one of a pair of rear driven wheels serving at the inside of the turn when the vehicle is a front drive vehicle, based upon the slip ratio and the factor; so that the brake system of the vehicle brakes the front driven wheel serving at the outside of the turn or the rear driven wheel serving at the inside of the turn to generate the target braking force.
