  • Patent number: 11958465
    Abstract: The vehicle control system includes a braking force generating device (6, 22) configured to generate a braking force to shift a load of a vehicle to a side of front wheels thereof at an initial stage of a cornering, and a control device (31) configured to control the braking force generated by the braking force generating device. The control device calculates an additional deceleration (Gxadd) according to vehicle state information, calculates a lateral jerk equivalent value (Jy) according to the vehicle state information, and sets a lateral jerk correction coefficient (Kj) for weakening the additional deceleration. The control device corrects the additional deceleration by the lateral jerk correction coefficient (K), and calculates an additional braking force (Fbadd) to be generated by the braking force generating device according to the corrected additional deceleration.

  • Patent number: 9707944
    Abstract: Motor-generators are arranged both at front and rear wheels so as to be capable of using all of four wheels for regeneration. The horizontal axis indicates deceleration of a vehicle, and the vertical axis indicates braking forces for the front and rear wheels, respectively above and below the horizontal axis. A setting value indicates a limit braking force for the rear wheels to be locked. A frictional braking force and a regenerative braking force at the rear wheels are controlled so that the total braking force for the rear wheels does not exceed the setting value.
