Abstract:
1. A turning control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: a driving torque controller for adjusting driving torque between a left wheel and a right wheel; means for detecting a state of turning of the vehicle; means for sensing a velocity of the vehicle; means for setting a basic-driving-torque-difference value indicating a difference of the driving torque between the left wheel and the right wheel; means for obtaining an acceleration/deceleration value indicating a degree of acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle; and means for adjusting the basic-driving-torque-difference value, as a target driving torque difference, according to the acceleration/deceleration value, obtained by said acceleration/deceleration value obtaining means, and the velocity of the vehicle received from said vehicle velocity sensing means, said driving torque controller adjusting the driving torque between the left wheel and the right wheel according to the target driving torque obtained by said basic-driving-torque-difference value adjusting means.
