Abstract: Steering stability of a vehicle under a traveling state
such as cornering is enhanced by controlling a state.of the
vehicle based on cornering powers of right and left wheels.
A detecting unit 1 detects action force containing longitudinal
force Fx, lateral force Fy and vertical force Fz which act on
each wheel. A specifying unit 2 specifies a friction
coefficient between the wheels and road surface. An estimating
unit 6 estimates cornering power ka of each wheel based on the
action force and the friction coefficient. A processing unit
7 determines control values so that the representative value
ka_ave of the cornering powers concerning the right and left
wheels is larger than the present value of the representative
value ka_ave of the cornering powers concerning the right and
left wheels. Controlling units 8 to 10 control the state of
the vehicle based on the control values thus determined.
