Patent ID: 7605555

Claim:
A stabilizer control device for a vehicle comprising: an electric motor that has a regenerative function; a stabilizer that connects a left wheel and a right wheel and that adjusts a roll rigidity of the vehicle via the electric motor, wherein the regenerative function of the electric motor uses a spring reaction force of the stabilizer to generate an electromagnetic braking force; vehicle behavior detection device that detects a vehicle behavior; regenerative current setting device that sets a target regenerative current of the electric motor based on the vehicle behavior detected by the vehicle behavior detection device; and regenerative current adjusting device that adjusts the regenerative current of the electric motor so that the target regenerative current set by the regenerative current setting device is reached, wherein the roll rigidity is adjusted by controlling the drive and regenerative functions of the electric motor, and the stabilizer control device controls changes in at least one of a twisting direction and a returning direction of the stabilizer through the use of the electromagnetic braking force.
