Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A vehicle control apparatus to be applied to a vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus comprising:
a braking controller configured to individually control braking forces of braking devices provided respectively for a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a left rear wheel, and a right rear wheel of the vehicle;
a side collision detector configured to detect a side collision against the vehicle; and
a yaw behavior detector configured to detect yaw behavior of a vehicle body of the vehicle,
wherein the braking controller is configured to execute yaw amplification control, the yaw amplification control including
in a case where the yaw behavior detector detects the yaw behavior after the side collision, the yaw behavior occurring in a direction in which a rear of the vehicle body slides toward a side opposite from a collision side relative to a front of the vehicle body, causing the braking device for only one of the left front wheel and the right front wheel to generate a braking force larger than each of braking forces for the other one of the left front wheel and the right front wheel, the left rear wheel, and the right rear wheel, wherein the only one of the left front wheel and the right front wheel is at the collision side, and
in a case where yaw behavior detector detects the yaw behavior after the side collision, the yaw behavior occurring in a direction in which the front of the vehicle body slides toward the side opposite from the collision side relative to the rear of the vehicle body, causing the braking device for only one of the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel to generate a braking force larger than each of braking forces for the other one of the rear wheel and the right rear wheel, the left front wheel, and the right front wheel, wherein the only one of the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel is at the collision side.
