Patent ID: 8718872

Claim:
A vehicle attitude controller for controlling an attitude of a vehicle body of a vehicle, comprising: control means for improving a roll feeling; control means for improving stability; and vehicle-motion determining means, wherein, to perform pitch control for improving a roll feeling, the control means for improving the roll feeling includes: target pitch-rate calculating means for calculating a target pitch rate corresponding to a target value of a pitch rate of the vehicle body so that the pitch rate increases in accordance with a magnitude of a roll rate of the vehicle body; and pitch-moment generating means for generating a pitch moment for the vehicle body so that the pitch rate of the vehicle body becomes closer to the target pitch rate; wherein the control means for improving the stability includes roll suppression means for generating a force for suppressing roll; and wherein the vehicle-motion determining means is configured so that the vehicle-motion determining means can switch a control rate between the control means for improving the roll feeling and the control means for improving the stability in accordance with a vehicle motion, and, before the vehicle enters a critical condition where a tire starts sliding, the control rate is switched so that the control rate of the control means for improving the stability is increased.
