Abstract
A stability control system for controlling an running attitude of a vehicle by applying braking force selectively and independently to the wheels so as to direct the vehicle toward a target direction applies braking force independently to a front wheel at the inner side of the cornering path to impart a yaw moment to the vehicle so that the inner front wheel yields a wheel slip ratio less than an upper limit of understeer wheel slip ratio which is set to be smaller than a wheel slip ratio at which each wheel provides the maximum force in the running direction.
