1. A roll-over suppressing control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

  • roll behavior information detection means for detecting roll behavior information of said vehicle;

    roll suppression means for suppressing rolling of said vehicle;

    roll-over suppressing control means for rendering said roll suppression means operative to start roll-over suppressing control of suppressing rolling of said vehicle when a parameter corresponding to the rolling behavior of said vehicle based on the roll behavior information detected by said roll behavior information detection means upon turning of said vehicle becomes higher than a control start criterion value set in advance and ending the roll-over suppressing control when the parameter becomes lower than a control end criterion value set in advance; and

    turning type determination means for determining whether the turning of said vehicle is steady turning or non-steady turning represented by a lane change;

    a steady turning control end criterion value for being used where it is determined by said turning type determination means that the turning of said vehicle is the steady turning and a non-steady turning control end criterion value for being used where it is determined by said turning type determination means that the turning of said vehicle is the non-steady turning being provided as the control end criterion value;

    the non-steady turning control end criterion value being set to a value lower than that of the steady turning control end criterion value.
