1. An apparatus for controlling an attitude of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a longitudinal force control device for controlling a torque of a wheel of the motor vehicle to thereby control a longitudinal force which acts in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle between the wheel and a road surface; and
a tire slip angle control portion for controlling a tire slip angle of said wheel such that an absolute value of the tire slip angle is smaller when said longitudinal force control device is in operation than when said longitudinal force control device is not in operation.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling an attitude of a motor vehicle, including a longitudinal force control device for controlling a torque of a wheel of the motor vehicle to thereby control a longitudinal force which acts in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle between the wheel and a road surface, and a tire slip angle control portion for controlling a tire slip angle of the wheel such that an absolute value of the tire slip angle is smaller when the longitudinal force control device is in operation than when the longitudinal force control device is not in operation.

12. An apparatus for controlling an attitude of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a lateral force control device for controlling a steering angle of a wheel of the motor vehicle to thereby control a lateral force which acts in a lateral direction of the vehicle between said wheel and a road surface; a longitudinal force control device for controlling a torque of said wheel to thereby control a longitudinal force which acts in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle between said wheel and the road surface; and a tire slip angle control portion for controlling a tire slip angle of said wheel such that an absolute value of the tire slip angle is smaller when said lateral force control device and said longitudinal force control device are concurrently operated, than when only said lateral force control device is operated alone. - View Dependent Claims (13)
