VEHICULAR BEHAVIOR CONTROLLER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicular behavior controller, comprising:
- a turning force application mechanism that applies a turning force to a vehicle; and
a stabilization controller configured to regulate the turning force application mechanism in such a manner that a turning characteristic and a straight travel property of the vehicle are stabilized while in an unstable velocity area when the velocity of the vehicle is faster than a stable limit velocity.

Abstract
A vehicular behavior controller is disclosed. The controller comprises a turning force application mechanism and a stabilization controller. The turning force application mechanism applies a turning force to a vehicle. The stabilization controller is operable to regulate the turning force application mechanism in such a manner that a turning characteristic and a straight travel property of the vehicle are stabilized while in an unstable velocity area when the velocity of the vehicle exceeds a stable limit velocity.

9. A vehicular behavior controller, comprising:
-
a turning force application mechanism that applies a turning force to a vehicle; vehicle parameters that define an unstable velocity area below a predetermined maximum velocity capability of the vehicle where the behavior of the vehicle becomes unstable; and a stabilization control mechanism configured to control the turning force application mechanism to apply a force in a direction that stabilizes the vehicle that has become unstable in the stable velocity area.

10. A vehicular behavior controller, comprising:
-
turning force application means for applying a turning force to a vehicle; and stabilization control means for regulating an amount the turning force application means is operated in a direction that stabilizes a turning characteristic and a straight travel property of the vehicle while in an unstable velocity area when vehicular motions have become unstable.
