Abstract:
1. A vehicle motion control apparatus comprising: an assist torque setting unit which sets an assist torque and transmits a value of the assist torque to a steering control unit, wherein the assist torque is generated in the steering actuator by the steering control unit; a braking torque setting unit which sets a braking torque and transmits the value of the braking torque to a braking control unit, wherein the braking torque is generated in a braking actuator by the braking control unit; and a control allocation unit which receives a signal transmitted from any one of vehicle turning motion control applications mounted on a desired value request unit, the signal indicates a selected result selecting which of steering control and braking control is to be performed in the vehicle motion control apparatus, receives a desired value for vehicle turning motion from the desired value request unit, outputs a main request value for performing the selected control of either the assist torque setting unit or the braking torque setting unit according to the signal and the desired value, and outputs a difference value, the difference value being the difference between the desired value and the main request value as a non-main request value to another unit to which the main request value is not output, according to the signal and the desired value.
