Abstract:
1. A stabilizer control apparatus, comprising: a first stabilizer bar disposed at either the front wheels or the rear wheels of a vehicle; a second stabilizer bar disposed at the other of the front wheels and the rear wheels; a first driving means, disposed between the two ends of the first stabilizer bar, that can be driven so as to contort the first stabilizer bar between its two ends; a second driving means, disposed between the two ends of the second stabilizer bar, that can be driven so as to contort the second stabilizer bar between its two ends; a roll detecting means for detecting rolling of the vehicle; a first control means, which, in the event that the roll detecting means has detected rolling of the vehicle, outputs to at least one of the first driving means and the second driving means a driving signal contorting at least one of the first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar, so that a resisting rolling moment that counters the rolling acts on the vehicle; and a second control means, which, in the event that an irregularity is detected that one of the first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar is stuck in a contorted state such that a rolling moment to one side acts on the vehicle, outputs a driving signal contorting the other of the first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar in a direction where the rolling moment to the one side is compensated, to the first driving means or the second driving means that drives the other stabilizer bar.
