Vehicle stability control device
First Claim
1. A device for controlling a behavior of a vehicle having a vehicle body, wheels and a steering apparatus being able to steer a wheel independently of a driver'"'"'s steering operation, the device comprising a portion of calculating a provisional target steering angle for wheels based upon an amount of an operation of a driver and a predetermined steering characteristic;
- a detector of detecting an actual value for the turning state parameter;
a portion of calculating a target value for the turning state parameter;
a portion of calculating a target steering angle for wheels for reducing a magnitude of a deviation of the actual turning state parameter from it target value when the magnitude of the deviation is at a reference value or above; and
a portion of controlling a steering angle based upon the target steering angle; and
wherein, during execution of controlling the steering angle based upon the target steering angle, the target turning state parameter calculating portion calculates the target value of the turning state parameter based upon the provisional target steering angle.

Abstract
A novel vehicle stability control device through steering wheels independently of the driver'"'"'s handling operation is provided, in which a suitable steering angle parameter in determining a target value for a turning state parameter is selected. The control device calculates a provisional target steering angle for wheels based upon an amount of an operation of a driver and a predetermined steering characteristic; a target value for the turning state parameter; and a target steering angle for wheels for reducing a magnitude of a deviation of the actual turning state parameter from its target value when the magnitude of the deviation is at a reference value or above, and thereby controlling a steering angle based upon the target steering angle. During execution of controlling the steering angle based upon the target steering angle, the target value of the turning state parameter is calculated based upon the provisional target steering angle.
