Abstract
Provided are a yaw moment generating mechanism a which produces a yawing motion at the vehicle, a vehicle behavior detection means b which detects a vehicle behavior, an actual yaw moment detection means a which is included in the vehicle behavior detection means b and detects an actual yaw moment acting on the vehicle, a target yaw moment arithmetic-calculation means d which calculates a target yaw moment necessary for a current vehicle behavior on the basis of an input from the vehicle behavior detection means b, and an operating command means e which operates the yaw moment generating mechanism to output a yaw moment equivalent to the difference between the target yaw moment and the actual yaw moment. Therefore, during the vehicle yaw dynamics control, it is possible to enhance the control quality without the control delay and control hunting and without giving the driver an uncomfortable feeling.
