Abstract: In a vehicle braking system for stabilizing vehicle behavior: a motor control unit determines whether or not the motor control unit receives a drive forbid signal from a yaw-moment control unit, when the motor control unit receives a drive instruction signal from a vehicle-behavior stabilization control unit. The motor control unit receives the drive forbid signal when the yaw-moment control unit performs yaw-moment control. The motor control unit forbids prepressurization using a slave cylinder, when the motor control unit receives the drive forbid signal.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle turning control system capable of maintaining stability of a vehicle, even in a case where a mode of output characteristics of a power plant for the vehicle is switched by a driver's operation. In a running mode in which output characteristics of an engine is higher, the vehicle turning control system increases a control gain of a feedforward control unit for performing yaw moment control of the vehicle by feedforward control, and decreases a control gain of a feedback control unit for performing yaw moment control of the vehicle by feedback control. A control gain of vehicle behavior stabilization control performed by the vehicle behavior stabilization control unit is controlled commonly regardless of the running mode.
