Vehicle attitude control device
First Claim
1. A vehicle attitude control device for executing an attitude control for a vehicle based on a stability factor which represents a steering property of the vehicle, the vehicle attitude control device comprising:
- estimated stability factor derivation means for deriving a stability factor during turning of the vehicle based on the behavior of the vehicle to take the derivation result as an estimated stability factor;
comparison means for comparing the estimated stability factor derived by the estimated stability factor derivation means with a reference stability factor set in advance; and
attitude control means for executing the attitude control for the vehicle after varying an attitude control necessary-or-not judgment sensitivity in dependence on a comparison result obtained by the comparison means.

Abstract
A vehicle attitude control device derives a stability factor during turning of a vehicle based on the behavior of the vehicle to take the derivation result as an estimated stability factor (step 112), compares the estimated stability factor with a reference stability factor (steps 114 and 116), varies an attitude control necessary-or-not judgment sensitivity based on the comparison result (steps 118, 130 and 134), and executes the attitude control for the vehicle (step 126).

9. A vehicle attitude control device comprising:
-
vehicle body speed detection means for detecting a vehicle body speed;
steering angle detection means for detecting a steering angle of the vehicle;
actual yaw rate detection means for detecting a yaw rate actually exerted on the vehicle;
target yaw rate calculation means for calculating a target yaw rate of the vehicle based on a stability factor representing the steering property of the vehicle; and
