Abstract
The invention provides a roll-over suppressing control apparatus for a vehicle which can suppress overturning of the vehicle while securing the traveling performance of the vehicle through appropriate slowing down control. The roll-over suppressing control apparatus for a vehicle includes a braking means capable of braking a wheel of the vehicle, an engine output adjustment means capable of controlling output power of an engine, a roll rate detection means for detecting a roll rate of the vehicle, a lateral acceleration detection means for detecting a lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and a roll-over suppressing control means for causing the braking means and the engine output adjustment means to apply braking and suppress the output power, respectively, if a first control carrying out condition based on a value of the roll rate is satisfied upon turning of the vehicle and for causing the braking means to apply braking when a second control carrying out condition based on a value of the lateral acceleration is satisfied upon turning of the vehicle.
