Claim:
1. A vehicle travel control apparatus, comprising: a plurality of travel motion state control devices for operating so as to cause a travel motion state of a vehicle to approach a target travel motion state wherein the travel motion state of the vehicle comprises a yaw rate of the vehicle, and the target travel motion state comprises a target yaw rate of the vehicle; and control unit for controlling the operations of the plurality of travel motion state control devices, wherein the control unit calculates a control amount for causing the travel motion state of the vehicle to approach the target travel motion state as a target control amount for the entire vehicle, sequentially distributes, while setting a ratio of a change amount of the travel motion state to an energy loss amount caused by the operation of each of the plurality of travel motion state control devices as an efficiency, the target control amount for the entire vehicle to the plurality of travel motion state control devices in descending order of the efficiency, to thereby calculate individual target control amounts for the plurality of travel motion state control devices, and controls the operation of the each of the plurality of travel motion state control devices based on each of the individual target control amounts.
