A wheel brake pressure controlling system includes a brake pressure operating circuit for selectively supplying to a wheel brake a primary pressure generated by a vacuum booster in response to the depression of a brake pedal and a secondary pressure generated by a hydraulic pressure pump which is driven by an electric motor, a microcomputer for estimating a turning of vehicle, determining if a turning of the vehicle is in a over- or under-steer region, and for determining a wheel brake, the pressure of which is to be intensified if the turning of the vehicle lies in the over- or under-steer region, and an output controller for supplying the secondary pressure to the wheel brake which has been thus determined, through the brake pressure operating circuit. The microcomputer determines if the turning of a vehicle occurs in a reference region located outside the over- or under-steer region, and whenever the turning of the vehicle occurs in the reference region, drives the second source of pressure for generating the secondary pressure, determines a wheel brake which is to be intensified, and automatically intensifies the wheel brake.

In an electric control apparatus for a hydraulic brake control system of a vehicle, a feedback control portion is provided to produce a feedback control pulse signal indicative of a difference between a target slip ratio and an actual slip ratio. A feedforward control portion is provided to successively convert the target slip ratio in relation to a required braking force, a hydraulic braking pressure and an amount of hydraulic braking fluid, in sequence, and to convert the amount of hydraulic braking fluid into a feedforward control pulse signal. A pulse mixing circuit is connected to control portions to mix the control pulse signals for producing a mixed control pulse signal as a distinct control pulse signal. A driving circuit is connected to the pulse mixing circuit to control a hydraulic braking pressure applied to each wheel of the vehicle in accordance with the control pulse signal, regardless of the extent to which a brake pedal of the vehicle is depressed.

The present invention is directed to a braking force control system for an automotive vehicle having a hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus which is provided for applying the braking force to each of front and rear wheels of the vehicle at least in response to depression of a brake pedal. A desired yaw rate is set in accordance with a motion of the vehicle, and an actual yaw rate of the vehicle is measured. A varying rate of the desired yaw rate is calculated, and a varying rate of the actual yaw rate is calculated. Then, a deviation between the varying rate of the desired yaw rate and the varying rate of the actual yaw rate is calculated. And, a limitation unit is provided for actuating the hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus to limit the varying rate of the actual yaw rate by applying the braking force to at least one of the wheels, when the deviation exceeds a predetermined value. The limitation unit may be so constituted as to apply the braking force to a front wheel of the wheels which is located on the outside of a curve in the vehicle's path.

The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system for maintaining vehicle stability by controlling the braking force applied to at least one of the driven wheels and non-driven wheels of a vehicle. A vehicle motion control is performed by applying the braking force to at least one wheel, on the basis of a condition of the vehicle in motion and irrespective of depression of a brake pedal. The braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause an increase in turning radius, when an excessive oversteer occurs during vehicle motion. Whereas, the braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause a decrease in turning radius, when an excessive understeer occurs during vehicle motion. In the case where an excessive braking to at least one of the driven wheels is detected, when an engine brake is exerted on the vehicle, a correction control is performed to increase the braking force applied to at least one of the non-driven wheels. For example, when an excessive slip rate of at least one of the driven wheels is detected, a desired slip rate of at least one of the non-driven wheels is corrected.

The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system for maintaining vehicle stability by controlling the braking force applied to at least one of the front and rear wheels of a vehicle. Oversteer restraining control and/or understeer restraining control are performed by applying the braking force to at least one wheel, on the basis of a condition of the vehicle in motion and irrespective of depression of a brake pedal. In the oversteer restraining control, the braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause an increase in turning radius, when an excessive oversteer occurs during vehicle motion. Whereas, in the understeer restraining control, the braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause a decrease in turning radius, when an excessive understeer occurs during vehicle motion. When the excessive oversteer and excessive understeer occur simultaneously or sequentially during vehicle motion, priority is given to the oversteer restraining control over the understeer restraining control with respect to at least one of the front wheels, while priority is given to the understeer restraining control over the oversteer restraining control with respect to at least one of the rear wheels.

The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system for maintaining vehicle stability by controlling the braking force applied to each wheel of a vehicle. The braking force applied to each wheel is controlled on the basis of outputs of the wheel speed sensors and the vehicle speed estimation unit. A limit value is calculated to a difference between a first estimated vehicle speed calculated for a second wheel located on the right side of the vehicle and a left estimated vehicle speed calculated for a left wheel located on the left side of the vehicle. The calculation of one of the first and second estimated vehicle speeds is limited in response to the limit value, so as to keep the estimated vehicle speed calculated for one of the right and left wheels rotating at a relatively low speed to be greater than a value subtracting the limit value from the second estimated vehicle speed provided for the other one of the right and left wheels rotating at a relatively high speed. For example, the limit value is calculated on the basis of a varying value resulted from at least a change in a coefficient of friction for each wheel of the vehicle, and varied in accordance with one of a plurality of control modes.
