Patent ID: 8249790

Claim:
A vehicle behavior control device, comprising: a first means for calculating a spin amount serving as an index of spin behavior of a vehicle; a control means for performing a braking force control of each wheel of the vehicle to prevent side slip in accordance with the spin amount; a second means for calculating a slip angle of a front wheel of the vehicle, the slip angle being a discrepancy between a rolling direction of the front wheel and a traveling direction of the vehicle; a determination means for determining whether the slip angle of the front wheel is outside of the determined range, by determining whether an absolute value of the slip angle of the front wheel calculated by the second means for calculating is equal to or larger than a threshold value, the determination means determining that the vehicle is not spinning when the absolute value of the slip angle of the front wheel is smaller than a threshold value; and a correction means for correcting the spin amount based on a result of determination of the determination means.
