Vehicle motion control apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle motion control apparatus for controlling a braking force applied to each wheel in response to a vehicle state, and controlling a driving force transmitted from an internal combustion engine to driven wheels, to perform a vehicle stability control, comprising:
- vehicle state monitor means for monitoring a state variable of said vehicle;
braking force control means for controlling the braking force applied to said each wheel on the basis of the state variable monitored by said vehicle state monitor means to perform the vehicle stability control;
engine output control means for controlling the driving force transmitted to said driven wheels on the basis of the state variable monitored by said vehicle state monitor means to perform the vehicle stability control;
braking operation detection means for detecting a braking operation by a driver of said vehicle; and
control distribution modifying means for modifying a control distribution between the vehicle stability control performed by said braking force control means and the vehicle stability control performed by said engine output control means, when said braking operation detection means detects the braking operation during the vehicle stability control.

Abstract
A vehicle motion control apparatus is provided for controlling a braking force applied to each wheel in response to a vehicle state, and controlling a driving force transmitted from an internal combustion engine to driven wheels, to perform a vehicle stability control. The apparatus includes a vehicle state monitor for monitoring state variable of the vehicle, a braking force control device for controlling the braking force applied to each wheel on the basis of the state variable monitored by the vehicle state monitor, an engine output control device for controlling the driving force transmitted to the driven wheels on the basis of the state variable monitored by the vehicle state monitor, and a braking operation detection device for detecting a braking operation by a driver of the vehicle. A control distribution modifying device is provided for modifying a control distribution between the vehicle stability control performed by the braking force control device and the vehicle stability control performed by the engine output control device, when the braking operation detection device detects the braking operation during the vehicle stability control.
