Abstract:
1. A vehicle motion control device comprising: a road condition detecting section configured to detect one of a curved road and a straight road as a road condition; a target yaw rate calculating section configured to calculate a target yaw rate required for the vehicle to arrive at a target position that is set in front of the vehicle according to a first calculation using a first transfer function that achieves a first damping ratio of the first transfer function upon the road condition detecting section detecting a curved road, and calculates the target yaw rate according to a second calculation that is different from the first calculation using a second transfer function that achieves a second damping ratio of the second transfer function that is greater than the first damping ratio of the first transfer function upon the road condition detecting section detecting a straight road; and a vehicle motion control section configured to control a vehicle motion based on change in at least one dynamic parameter indicative of a vehicle traveling condition to generate the target yaw rate calculated in the target yaw rate calculating section.
