Abstract:
A travelling direction correction apparatus, comprising:a shift detection device for detecting a shift amount of a vehicle running on a road, with respect to said road;a wheel brake pressure control device for increasing wheel brake pressure and controlling wheel brake pressure distribution; andcruise control means for commanding control of said wheel brake pressure distribution to said wheel brake pressure control device, wherein in said control of said wheel brake pressure distribution, the following processes are implemented: (1) at least one of a yaw rate, a lateral speed and a lateral acceleration is set as an index, (2) a value of said index, which occurs when a running direction of said vehicle is changed toward a direction along which said shift amount decreases, is summed with a value of said index, which occurs when said vehicle runs along a curved road, and said summed amount is made an object value, and (3) said value of said index is coincided with said object value.
