Abstract

A vehicle stability control system includes a basic request driving force computing unit, a front and rear wheel load computing unit, a virtual turning radius estimating unit, a target value computing unit, and a vibration damping correction controlling unit. The basic request driving force computing unit computes a physical quantity so as to generate the basic request driving force requested by a driver. The front and rear wheel load computing unit detect a load applied to the wheels. The virtual turning radius estimating unit estimates a virtual turning radius. The target value computing unit computes a target value of a stability factor. The vibration damping correction controlling unit corrects the physical quantity so as to follow the target value. The system generates the driving force for the driving wheel.
