Abstract

A vehicle behavior during driving is correctly grasped by computing and map-retrieving from output signal (.omega.y) of an angular velocity sensor (2) for detecting the angular velocity of the vehicle (11). A vehicle control apparatus of the present invention can correctly compensate the output signal (.omega.y) having error owing to the secular change or temperature change, etc. by using a zero-point calculation means (6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56) for calculating zero-point signal (.omega.y0) and an angular velocity correction means (7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57) for correcting the output signal (.omega.y) of the angular velocity sensor (2).
