Abstract
A vehicle behavior control system comprises a controller for determining a sensed steering angle from a steering amount signal and a neutral detection signal from a steering angle sensor, and performs a behavior control operation to reduce a deviation of a sensed actual motion variable such as a vehicle yaw rate from a target motion variable determined from the sensed steering angle. When the neutral detection signal is not available just after a start of the engine, the controller determines the target motion variable from an estimated steering angle instead of the sensed steering angle, and immediately starts controlling the vehicle behavior without delay by, for example, controlling the braking forces of the individual wheels.
