Patent ID: 8670912

Claim:
An attitude change reduction structure that reduces a vehicle attitude change that occurs during braking due to known left-right asymmetry of a vehicle structure, the attitude change reduction structure comprising: a brake pressure control mechanism that increases a brake pressure at a brake for a wheel on a right side and a brake pressure at a brake for a wheel on a left side to a same target brake pressure; and a brake pressure change rate differentiation structure that makes a rate of change in the brake pressure at the brake for the wheel on the right side with respect to time different from a rate of change in the brake pressure at the brake for the wheel on the left side with respect to time, based on the known left-right asymmetry of the vehicle structure, wherein the brake pressure change rate differentiation structure includes brake hoses on the right and left sides, and an amount of expansion of the brake hose on the right side is different from an amount of expansion of the brake hose on the left side; and the amount of expansion of the brake hose on one of the right and left sides is smaller than the amount of expansion of the brake hose on the other of the right and left sides so that the rate of change in the brake pressure at the brake for the wheel on the one of the right and left sides with respect to time is greater than the rate of change in the brake pressure at the brake for the wheel on the other of the right left sides with respect to time.
