Turning behavior control device for vehicle
First Claim
1. A turning behavior control device for a vehicle comprising:
- a left and right wheel driving force adjustment unit that adjusts a difference in driving force between left and right wheels for the vehicle;
a steering angle adjustment unit that adjusts a steering angle for at least one of the front and rear wheels for the vehicle;
a vehicle behavior detection unit that detects the behavior of the vehicle; and
a control unit that controls the left and right wheel driving force adjustment unit and the steering angle adjustment unit, based on the vehicle behavior detected by the vehicle behavior detection unit;
wherein the control unit operates the steering angle adjustment unit before operating the left and right wheel driving force adjustment unit.

Abstract
A turning behavior control device for vehicle has a left and right wheel driving force adjustment mechanism for adjusting a difference in driving force between rear wheels, a braking force adjustment mechanism for adjusting a difference in braking force between the wheels, a front wheel auxiliary steering mechanism for adjusting a steering angle of front wheels, a vehicle velocity sensor, a steering wheel sensor and a yaw rate sensor for detecting the behavior of a vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the front wheel auxiliary steering adjustment mechanism, the left and right wheel driving force adjustment mechanism and the braking force adjustment mechanism, based on the vehicle velocity, the steering angle and the yaw rate detected by the sensors. The control unit operates the front wheel auxiliary steering mechanism before operating at least one of the left and right wheel driving force adjustment mechanism and the braking force adjustment mechanism.
