Vehicle control apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle control apparatus for controlling at least one running condition of a vehicle, comprising:
- intended-target-position determining means for determining an intended target position of the vehicle based on a steering angle of the vehicle;
a running-state detector which detects a running state of the vehicle;
estimated-target-position determining means for determining an estimated target position of the vehicle based on said running state of the vehicle detected by said running-state detector;
a vehicle-condition changing device which controls said at least one running condition of the vehicle; and
vehicle-condition control means for controlling said vehicle-condition changing device based on a difference between said intended target position of the vehicle determined by said intended-target-position determining means and said estimated target position of the vehicle determined by said estimated-target-position determining means, thereby controlling said at least one running condition of the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus for controlling at least one running condition of a vehicle, including an intended-target-position determining device which determines an intended target position of the vehicle based on a steering angle of the vehicle; a running-state detector which detects a running state of the vehicle; an estimated-target-position determining device which determines an estimated target position of the vehicle based on the running state of the vehicle detected by the running-state detector; a vehicle-condition changing device which changes the at least one running condition of the vehicle; and a vehicle-condition control device which controls the vehicle-condition changing device based on a difference between the intended target position of the vehicle determined by the intended-target-position determining device and the estimated target position of the vehicle determined by the estimated-target-position determining device, thereby controlling the at least one running condition of the vehicle.
