Abstract
A braking-force distribution control process controls the front and rear wheel braking-force distribution in a vehicle by regulating the braking liquid pressure ratio for front and rear wheel brakes, based on differences between front wheel speeds and rear wheel speeds. When an abrupt turning state is determined, the braking liquid pressure distribution ratio for the rear brakes is decreased as compared with when the abrupt turning state is not detected. Thus, when braking during a sudden turning of the vehicle, a sudden increase in yaw rate can be inhibited to enhance the steerage stability performance of the vehicle.
