Abstract
The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system, which includes a hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus for controlling braking force applied to each wheel of a vehicle at least in response to depression of a brake pedal. A vehicle condition monitor is disposed in the vehicle for monitoring a condition of the vehicle in motion, and a vehicle condition determining device is provided for determining stability of the vehicle in motion, including a turning motion of the vehicle on the basis of the output of the monitor. A braking force controller is provided for controlling the pressure control apparatus in response to the result of determination of the vehicle condition determining device to control the braking force applied to each wheel of the vehicle. A starting reference setting device is provided for setting a starting reference to start the braking force control by the braking force controller in response to the result of determination of the vehicle condition determining device. Then, an error estimating device is provided for estimating an error caused by the monitor, and a correction device is provided for correcting the starting reference set by t…
