Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for controlling an automotive vehicle is provided. The vehicle has a plurality of wheels, each wheel having an individually operable brake. The apparatus comprises a mechanism for determining the steering angle of the vehicle. A yawing moment controller receives the steering angle and determines a moment that is applied to the vehicle to prevent an undesirable yaw angle, yaw rate or yaw acceleration. Distribution logic receives the output of the yawing moment controller. The distribution logic determines a respectively different weighted coefficient for each individual brake, and an individual braking pressure to be applied to each respective one of the brakes based on the moment and the respective weighted coefficient of the one brake.
