Abstract

A braking force control system and method of a vehicle includes a vehicle speed detecting section, a steering angle detecting section, a yaw rate detecting section, a target yaw rate calculating section, a yaw rate deviation calculating section, turning requirement detecting means for detecting a driver's requirement to turn the vehicle, brake pressure correction coefficient generating section, a target braking force calculating section, a braking force correction section for correcting the braking force according to the driver's requirement to turn the vehicle, a braking wheel determining section for determining an object wheel to apply brakes, an output judging section, a brake signal outputting section and a brake drive apparatus for applying brake pressure to the wheel cylinder of the object wheel. Whereby, the driver can make a sharp turn even when the normal braking force control is operative.
