1. A turning control apparatus for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a drive source configured to develop a driving force in accordance with a driver'"'"'s accelerator manipulation;
a deceleration action section configured to apply a deceleration action to the vehicle, with the drive source driven by a driven side;
a brake mechanism configured to apply a braking force to the vehicle;
a turning state detecting section configured to detect a turning state of the vehicle;
a traveling control section configured to calculate a target turning state of the vehicle, and configured to decelerate the vehicle by controlling at least one of the deceleration action section and the brake mechanism when the turning state of the vehicle detected by the turning state detecting section satisfies a condition that a deviation is present between the detected turning state and calculated target turning state of the vehicle; and
an accelerator manipulated variable detecting section configured to detect an accelerator manipulated variable by a vehicle driver, the traveling control section configured to control the brake mechanism to limit the deceleration through the brake mechanism, and configured to control the deceleration action section to carry out the deceleration through the deceleration action section when the accelerator manipulated variable detected by the accelerator manipulated variable detecting section exceeds a value such that the accelerator has been determined to be manipulated by the driver.

Abstract
In turning control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, the vehicle through at least one of a deceleration action section and a brake mechanism is decelerated when a turning state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition, an accelerator manipulated variable by a vehicle driver is detected, and the deceleration through the brake mechanism is limited and the deceleration through the deceleration action section is carried out, when the detected accelerator manipulated variable exceeds a predetermined value (α).
