Title:

DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING YAWING OF VEHICLE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1999/056994

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A device for controlling the yawing of a vehicle comprises a yaw moment generating mechanism (a) for causing the vehicle to yaw, vehicle behavior sensing means (b) for sensing the behavior of the vehicle, actual yaw moment sensing means (c) included in the vehicle behavior sensing means (b) and adapted for measuring the actual yaw moment generated in the vehicle, target yaw moment calculating means (d) for finding a target yaw moment which is a necessary yaw moment in the current vehicle behavior, and operation instructing means (e) for operating the yaw moment generating mechanism (a) to output a yaw moment equivalent to the difference between the target yaw moment and the actual yaw moment. Therefore, the quality of controlling the yawing of a vehicle is improved by eliminating control delay and vibration in the control, not giving any sense of abnormality to the driver.
