Abstract:
A braking force control system for an automotive vehicle comprising:braking means for applying a braking force to each of front and rear wheels of said vehicle at least in response to depression of a brake pedal;desired yaw rate setting means for setting a desired yaw rate in accordance with a motion of said vehicle;actual yaw rate measuring means for measuring an actual yaw rate of said vehicle;first varying rate calculation means for calculating a varying rate of the desired yaw rate set by said desired yaw rate setting means;second varying rate calculation means for calculating a varying rate of the actual yaw rate measured by said actual yaw rate measuring means;deviation calculation means for calculating a deviation between the varying rate of the desired yaw rate and the varying rate of the actual yaw rate; andlimitation means for actuating said braking means to limit the varying rate of the actual yaw rate by applying the braking force to at least one of said wheels, when the deviation calculated by said deviation calculation means exceeds a predetermined value.
