Abstract:
1. A vehicle stabilization control device comprising: an actual turning state quantity acquisition unit that acquires an actual turning state quantity that indicates an actual turning state of a vehicle; a control quantity computation unit that, in order to control a braking force for each of the wheels of the vehicle such that understeer of the vehicle is suppressed, in yaw priority mode, computes a target control quantity for each of the wheels, based on the actual turning state quantity and on a first computation characteristic giving higher priority to an imparting of a yaw moment to the vehicle than to a deceleration of the vehicle or, in a deceleration priority mode, based on the actual turning state quantity and on a second computation characteristic giving higher priority to the deceleration than to the imparting of the yaw moment to the vehicle; a control unit that controls the braking force for each of the wheels, based on the target control quantity for each of the wheels; a curve information acquisition unit that acquires a shape of a curve that lies ahead in the direction of travel of the vehicle; a vehicle speed acquisition unit that acquires a speed of the vehicle; and a curve traverse possibility determination unit that determines a possibility that the vehicle can traverse the curve in a stable manner, based on the curve shape and the speed of the vehicle, wherein curve information acquisition unit when the possibility that the vehicle can traverse the curve in a stable manner is determined to be high and in the deceleration priority mode when the possibility that the vehicle can traverse the curve in a stable manner is determined to be low.
