  • Vehicular motion controlling system
    Patent number: 5947221
    Abstract: In the present invention, when the wheel speeds of drive wheels are reduced by an engine brake, there are executed drive wheel control for adjusting the braking forces applied to the drive wheels by the engine brake, and driven wheel control for reducing the wheel speeds of driven wheels by an brake actuator. Drive wheel control raises lateral resistant force of the drive wheels by increasing an engine output torque, and driven wheel control brakes the driven wheels by the brake actuator such as a hydraulic brake. As a result, sufficient deceleration of a vehicle can be obtained while retaining the stability of the vehicle.
