Abstract

A target yaw moment Mt of a vehicle is calculated to make the vehicle run stably (S20). The change rate φd of an accelerator pedal operation amount φ is calculated (S30). Based on the change rate φd, a proportion ωs1 for a steering angle control is calculated (S50). When the change rate φd is a positive value, the proportion ωs1 gradually increases as the change rate φd increases. A proportion ωb for a braking force control is calculated by subtracting the proportion ωs1 from 1 (1−ωs1) (S60). Based on the proportions ωs1 and ωb, a target yaw moment Mts for the steering angle control and a target yaw moment Mtb for the braking force control are calculated (S70). A steering-angle changing device (24) and a braking device (36) are controlled based on the target yaw moments Mts and Mtb, respectively (S400 to S430).
