Abstract:
A vehicle co-operative control device comprising:a driving force and/or braking force distribution device for distributing the driving force or braking force between a pair of wheels of the vehicle; a first control means for controlling the operation of the driving force and/or braking force distribution device; an electric power steering device for applying a steering assist torque to a steering system; a steering torque detecting means; and a second control means for controlling the operation of the electric power steering device based on at least the steering torque detected by the steering torque detecting means, wherein the steering torque detected by the steering torque detecting means is input into the first control means and the first control means calculates a corrected steering torque by correcting said steering torque according to the degree of control of the driving force and/or braking force distribution device and outputs the corrected steering torque to the second control means, and wherein the second control means calculates the steering assist torque based on the corrected steering torque.
