The model is connected to a module for determining whether driving limit values are violated, which module is capable of determining, for each future state, whether one of the state variables defining the future state reaches or exceeds a driving limit value, and of deducing a future risk situation.

A vehicle driving force control apparatus is mounted in a vehicle that runs by transmitting power from a plurality of drive sources to a plurality of wheels or a plurality of sets of wheels. The vehicle driving force control apparatus includes: a ratio determination unit; and a command unit. The ratio determination unit determines a target ratio at which a required driving force applied to the vehicle is to be distributed to the plurality of wheels or the plurality of sets of wheels. The command unit commands the plurality of drive sources to output power such that driving force distributed in accordance with the target ratio is generated in the plurality of wheels or the plurality of sets of wheels.

A driver assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes a camera configured to photograph an image of surroundings of a vehicle; an interface; and a processor.

The vehicle behavior control device is designed to control a behavior of a vehicle having steerable front road wheels. The vehicle behavior control device comprises a PCM configured to perform control to reduce a torque for the vehicle according to a steering speed of the vehicle, and acquire an understeer-causing state of the vehicle which is a factor causing understeer, wherein the PCM is further configured to perform control to, after reducing the torque, increase the torque at a change rate decided based on the understeer-causing state of the vehicle acquired by the PCM.

A system vectors torque between two wheels of a rear axle of an electric motor vehicle that are disposed on either side of the vehicle and are each driven by an electric motor in order to distribute a torque between the two wheels. The system includes a first torque setpoint generator, a second slip correction torque generator, a detector for detecting oversteer or understeer of the vehicle during the acceleration phase when turning, a third skid correction torque generator, a corrected-torque set point generator, and a controller for controlling the first electric motor based on the first corrected-torque set point and for controlling the second electric motor based on the second corrected-torque setpoint.

A vehicle electronic stability control system allows a vehicle to have improved movement performance and limit performance without causing a driver to feel uncomfortable, by actuating electronic stability control from a state where a lateral slip is relatively less likely to occur. The system prevents skidding of a vehicle including motors which individually drive a pair of left and right drive wheels. A stability determination module obtains information indicating vehicle behavior from a sensor, and determines whether or not the vehicle is in an unstable or less stable state, on the basis of the information. A braking/driving force control module which, when the stability determination module determines that the vehicle is in the unstable or less stable state, applies a braking force to one of the drive wheels, and simultaneously applies a driving force to the motor for the other drive wheel.

A vehicle behavior control method is suitable for a vehicle behavior control device. The vehicle behavior control device includes: a lateral acceleration sensor, detecting lateral acceleration occurring in a vehicle body; a wheel speed sensor, detecting a wheel speed of a wheel; a steering angle sensor, detecting a steering angle of the wheel; a steering angle lateral acceleration calculation unit, calculating steering angle lateral acceleration from the wheel speed and the steering angle; and a yaw moment control unit, applying yaw moment to the vehicle body. In the vehicle behavior control method, when the lateral acceleration and the steering angle lateral acceleration meet a predetermined condition, a yaw moment directed inward in a turning direction of the vehicle body is applied by the yaw moment control unit.

The vehicle behavior control device is designed to control a behavior of a vehicle having steerable front road wheels.

A method for stabilizing a vehicle (100) in which the vehicle (100) has a roll stabilizer (120), which is designed to stabilize a first axle (101) and a second axle (102) as a function of a roll torque distribution between the first axle (101) and the second axle (102). The method comprises a step of determining a sideslip angle index from a difference between a transverse acceleration calculated from a yaw rate of the vehicle (100) and a speed of the vehicle (100), and a detected transverse acceleration of the vehicle (100). The sideslip angle index is related to a sideslip angle of the vehicle (100). The method also comprises a step of generating a control signal (160) using the sideslip angle index. The control signal (160) is suitable for adjusting the roll torque distribution of the roll stabilizer (120) as a function of the determined sideslip angle index.
