VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A vehicle behavior control apparatus comprising:
- a rotary body formed as a part of a power plant installed in a vehicle; and
a shaft deflection unit that sets a vehicle behavior target value for obtaining a target vehicle behavior, and deflects a direction of a rotary shaft of the rotary body relative to a vehicle body in accordance with the vehicle behavior target value.

Abstract
A vehicle behavior control apparatus includes a rotary body formed as a part of a power plant installed in a vehicle, and a shaft deflection unit that sets a vehicle behavior target value for obtaining a target vehicle behavior, and deflects a direction of a rotary shaft of the rotary body relative to a vehicle body in accordance with the vehicle behavior target value. Thus, the vehicle behavior can be controlled appropriately by using a pre-existing vehicle constitutional component such as an engine or a motor as the rotary body, and using a gyro moment generated by deflecting the direction of the rotary shaft of the rotary body.

16. The vehicle behavior control method, further comprising detecting a steering direction and a steering speed of the vehicle,
wherein the vehicle behavior target value is set in relation to a yaw direction vehicle behavior of the vehicle on the basis of the steering direction and the steering speed, and the rotary shaft of the rotary body is deflected in a pitch direction of the rotary body.
-
17. The vehicle behavior control method, further comprising estimating an attitude of the vehicle,
wherein the vehicle behavior target value is set in relation to a pitch direction vehicle behavior of the vehicle on the basis of the attitude of the vehicle, and the rotary shaft of the rotary body is deflected in a yaw direction of the rotary body.
