Abstract:
A braking force control system for a vehicle having a brake system for controlling to stop a rotation of each wheel, comprising:vehicle speed detecting means for detecting a vehicle speed;steering wheel angle detecting means for detecting a steering angle;actual yaw rate detecting means for detecting an actual vehicle yaw rate;lateral acceleration detecting means for detecting a lateral vehicle acceleration;vehicle body slip angular velocity calculating means for calculating a vehicle body slip angular velocity on a basis of said vehicle speed, said actual vehicle yaw rate, and said lateral vehicle acceleration;steering angle correcting means for correcting said steering angle on the basis of said vehicle body slip angular velocity;target yaw moment calculating means for calculating a target yaw moment on the basis of said actual vehicle yaw rate, said vehicle speed, and said steering angle;brake wheel selecting means for selecting a wheel to be braked on the basis of said actual vehicle yaw rate and said target yaw moment;target braking force calculating means for calculating a target braking force to be applied to each of said wheels to be braked on the basis of said target yaw moment; andbraking signal outputting means for outputting a signal to a brake drive section so as to apply said target braking force to said wheel.
