Turning control apparatus and method for automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. A turning control apparatus for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a turning control section that controllably decelerates the vehicle in accordance with a turning state of the vehicle when the turning state of the vehicle exceeds a deceleration-start threshold value which has a margin against a limit of a turning performance of the vehicle; and
an accelerator manipulated variable detecting section that detects an accelerator manipulated variable, the turning control section placing a limitation on a deceleration of the vehicle to approach the turning state of the vehicle to the limit of the turning performance in dependence upon a magnitude of the detected accelerator manipulated variable when the turning state of the vehicle exceeds the deceleration-start threshold value.

Abstract
In a turning control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a turning controller places a limitation on an automatic deceleration of the vehicle which is started when a turning state of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined deceleration-start threshold value that has a margin for a limit value of turning performance of the vehicle, in such a manner that the turning state of the vehicle approaches to the limit of turning performance of the vehicle in accordance with an accelerator manipulation by a driver. In the case where the driver erroneously manipulates an accelerator pedal, the limitation on the automatic deceleration is suspended.
