  • Publication number: 20240042981
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes an information acquirer that acquires information on driving conditions of a vehicle at least containing a steering angle and a vehicle speed; a brake force setter that sets a brake force to each of a plurality of wheels provided in the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle; and a brake controller that performs brake control for each of the plurality of wheels using the brake force set by the brake force setter, wherein the brake force setter remains the first brake force for the first specific wheel during a turn-over operation while the turn-over operation is performed from the one side steering position through a neutral position to other side steering position.

  • Publication number: 20240042980
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes an information acquirer that acquires information on driving conditions of a vehicle at least containing a steering angle and a vehicle speed, a distribution amount setter that sets a distribution amount of a brake force to each of multiple wheels provided in the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle; and a brake controller that performs brake control of each of the multiple wheels according to the distribution amount set by the distribution amount setter. When the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a 22nd vehicle speed value within a low vehicle speed range, the distribution amount setter sets the distribution amount of a brake force to each of the multiple wheels including a specific wheel to a value which is smaller than a distribution amount when the vehicle speed exceeds the 22nd vehicle speed value.

  • Publication number: 20240042979
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes an information acquirer that acquires information on driving conditions of a vehicle at least containing a steering angle and a vehicle speed, a distribution amount setter that sets a distribution amount of a brake force to each of multiple wheels provided in the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle; and a brake controller that performs brake control of each of the multiple wheels according to the distribution amount set by the distribution amount setter. The distribution amount setter sets the distribution amount to zero when the steering angle SA is less than a first steering angle threshold where the steering angle SA is recognizable as a substantially neutral state.
