Patent ID: 8666626

Claim:
A turning control device for a vehicle which generates a yaw moment in a body of the vehicle by applying a braking force to left and right wheels of the vehicle based on running conditions of the vehicle, the turning control device comprising: a steering wheel turning amount detection device which detects a steering wheel turning amount of the vehicle; a vehicle speed detection device which detects or estimates a speed of the vehicle; a feedforward control amount calculation unit which calculates a feedforward control amount based on at least one of a detection signal from at least the steering wheel turning amount detection device and a detection signal from the vehicle speed detection device; a braking force control amount calculation unit which determines a braking force control amount based on the feedforward control amount calculated by the feedforward control amount calculation unit and an incremental characteristic; a braking control device which controls the braking force based on the braking force control amount determined by the braking force control amount calculation unit; and a steering direction determination device which determines whether a steering direction is an incremental steering direction or a returning-steering direction based on the detection signal from the steering wheel turning amount detection device, wherein the feedforward control amount calculation unit is provided with a feedforward control amount correction unit which corrects the feedforward control amount according to the determination result of the steering direction determination device.
