Abstract
A target yaw moment Mt of a vehicle is calculated to make the vehicle run stably (S). The change rate φd of an accelerator pedal operation amount φ is calculated (S). Based on the change rate φd, a proportion ωsfor a steering angle control is calculated (S). When the change rate φd is a positive value, the proportion ωsgradually increases as the change rate φd increases. A proportion ωb for a braking force control is calculated by subtracting the proportion ωsfrom 1 (1−ωs) (S). Based on the proportions ωsand ωb, a target yaw moment Mts for the steering angle control and a target yaw moment Mtb for the braking force control are calculated (S). A steering-angle changing device () and a braking device () are controlled based on the target yaw moments Mts and Mtb, respectively (Sto S).
