Abstract

A reference setting system for determining a target vehicle cornering behavior which can be used as a standard for determining a deviation of an actual cornering behavior such yaw rate and lateral acceleration of the vehicle, is arranged to have a steering angle sensor, a vehicle speed sensor and an operational unit which determines the target behavior from sensed steering angle and vehicle speed in accordance with predetermined equations of motion of a wheeled vehicle. The system may further has a differentiator for determining a steering speed from the steering angle, and a device for adjusting the target behavior in accordance with the steering speed.
