Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a motion of a vehicle supported on steered and non-steered road wheels. A target vehicle motion value is calculated based on the steering angle and vehicle speed to provide a predetermined response characteristic related to a vehicle plane behavior. A target steering angle value for the non-steered road wheel to realize the vehicle plane behavior is calculated according to the target vehicle motion value. The non-steered road wheels are steered according to the calculated target steering angle value. The damping characteristic of the response characteristic is decreased as the vehicle speed increases.
