Vehicle control device
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device comprising:
- a weight estimating unit configured to estimate a weight of a vehicle;
a traveling state estimating unit configured to estimate a turning characteristic of the vehicle;
an upper and lower limit values setting unit configured to both an upper limit value and a lower limit value of the turning characteristic based on the weight of the vehicle estimated by the weight estimating unit;
an upper and lower limit values changing unit configured to change at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the turning characteristic based on the weight of the vehicle estimated by the weight estimating unit;
an upper and lower limit processing unit configured to perform a process of putting the turning characteristic estimated by the traveling state estimating unit into a range of the upper and lower limit values set by the upper and lower limit values setting unit; and
a behavior control unit configured to perform behavior control of the vehicle based on the turning characteristic after the process of putting the turning characteristic into the range of the upper and lower limit values performed by the upper and lower limit processing unit.

Abstract
A vehicle control device includes: a weight calculating unit configured to estimate a weight of the vehicle; a traveling state calculating unit configured to estimate a turning characteristic of the vehicle; a guard setting unit configured to change and set at least one of an upper limit value and a lower limit value of the turning characteristic based on the weight of the vehicle estimated by the weight calculating unit; an upper and lower limit processing unit configured to perform a process of putting the turning characteristic into a range of the upper and lower limit values; and a behavior control unit configured to perform behavior control of the vehicle based on the turning characteristic after the process of putting the turning characteristic into the range of the upper and lower limit values.
