Patent ID: 7669943

Claim:
A vehicle motion control device comprising: index obtaining means for obtaining an index value that indicates a degree of tendency that an excessive roll angle occurs on a vehicle; and braking force controlling means for exerting a first braking force only on a wheel at the inner side of a turning direction when the vehicle is in a turning state and the index value is equal to or greater than a first predetermined value and less than a second predetermined value, which first braking force itself prevents an increase in a height of a vehicle body at a section above said wheel at the inner side of the turning direction, the braking force controlling means changing the value of the first braking force according to the index value, wherein when the index value is equal to or greater than the second predetermined value, which is greater than the first predetermined value, during the turning state of the vehicle, the braking force controlling means exerts the first braking force on said wheel at the inner side of the turning direction and also exerts a second braking force on one of the wheels at the outer side of the turning direction to produce a yawing moment in a direction opposite the turning direction.
