Abstract
A turning control apparatus for a vehicle with improved turning ability and that avoids degradation of acceleration ability is provided. The turning control apparatus comprises: a driving torque controller () for adjusting driving torque between a left and right wheels (L andR); a unit() for setting a basic-driving-torque-difference value indicating a difference of the driving torque between the left and right wheels (L andR); a unit () for obtaining an acceleration/deceleration value indicating a degree of acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle; and a unit () for adjusting the basic-driving-torque-difference value, as a target driving torque difference, according to the acceleration/deceleration value and the velocity of the vehicle sensed. The driving torque controller () adjusts the driving torque between the left and right wheels (L andR) according to the target driving torque obtained by the basic-driving-torque-difference value adjusting unit ().
