Patent ID: 6283560
Filing Date: 2001-09-04
Classification: B60T

Abstract:
A braking force control system for automotive vehicle, comprising:a vehicle speed detector;a steering wheel angle detector,an actual yaw rate detector,a lateral acceleration detector;a vehicle body slip angle calculator for calculating a vehicle body slip angle based on the detected vehicle speed, the detected actual vehicle yaw rate, and the detected lateral vehicle acceleration;an actual yaw rate corrector for correcting the detected actual vehicle yaw rate based the calculated vehicle body slip angle;a target yaw moment calculator for calculating a target yaw moment based on the detected vehicle speed, the detected steering angle, and the actual vehicle yaw rate corrected by said actual yaw rate correction;a brake wheel selector for selecting a wheel to be braked based on the detected actual vehicle yaw rate and the target yaw moment calculating by said target yaw moment calculator;a target braking force calculator for calculating a target braking force to be applied to the wheel selector by said braked wheel selector based on the target yaw moment calculated by said target yaw moment calculator; anda braking signal outputter for outputting a signal to a brake drive section, for application of the target braking force calculated by said target braking force calculator to the wheel selected by said braked wheel selector.
