    摘要: An azimuth change quantity .theta. of a road during traveling of a vehicle for a time .delta.t is calculated based on road data provided by a navigation system and a vehicle speed provided by a vehicle speed sensor (at step S3 in FIG. 2). On the other hand, an azimuth change quantity .THETA. of the vehicle is calculated by integrating a yaw rate .gamma. obtained from a yaw rate sensor over the time .delta.t (at step S5). A deviation D between the azimuth change quantity .theta. of the road and the azimuth change quantity .THETA. of the vehicle is calculated (at step S6). When the deviation D becomes equal to or larger than a reference value .beta., it is determined that there is a possibility that the vehicle will depart from the road (at step S9), and a predetermined steering torque is applied to a steering device, so that the deviation is converged into zero (at steps S10 and S11).

    摘要: To the end of ensuring a brisk maneuverability of a front and rear wheel steering vehicle without causing any unstable behavior of the vehicle, the rear wheels are steered in an opposite phase relationship to the front wheels to offset an under-steer tendency of the vehicle when a lateral acceleration acting on the vehicle is between a first prescribed value and a second prescribed value higher than the first prescribed value, and the vehicle would otherwise demonstrate an under-steer tendency, and in a same phase relationship to the front wheels to prevent an excessive slip angle from developing in the rear wheels when the detected lateral acceleration is greater than the second prescribed value, and the slip angle of the rear wheels would otherwise develop an excessive slip angle. In other words, the rear wheels are steered in an opposite phase relationship to the front wheels so long as a lateral acceleration acting on the vehicle is within a range which would not give rise to any excessive slip angle of the rear wheels.

    摘要: In a brake system in an electric vehicle comprising a follower wheel capable of being hydraulically braked by the operation of a brake operating element, and a driving wheel connected to and driven by a motor using a battery as an energy source and capable of being hydraulically braked and regeneratively braked by the operation of the brake operating element, the regenerative braking force for the driving wheel exceeds a theoretic distribution characteristic of the braking forces for the follower and driving wheels at least during an initial braking. Thus, it is possible to sufficiently perform the recovery of the kinetic energy of the vehicle by the regenerative braking to increase the possible travel distance of the vehicle. In addition, at least during an initial braking, the hydraulic braking of the driving wheel and the hydraulic braking of the follower wheel are inhibited, and substantially only the regenerative braking of the driving wheel is performed. Thus, it is possible to recover the kinetic energy of the vehicle without consumption thereof by the hydraulic braking to increase the possible travel distance of the vehicle.

    摘要: The road friction is determined from the deviation of the estimated yaw rate under a standard condition from the actually measured yaw rate. The system for determining the road friction includes a parameter identification unit which determines a parameter of a variation term defined in the transfer function of the model for the vehicle response. The variation term may consist of a zero-th order or a first-order transfer function which would not cause any large computation load, and may not depend on the vehicle speed. The determined road friction may be used for controlling the rear wheel steering angle of a four wheel steering vehicle.
