VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL METHOD

Abstract:

A vehicle behavior control device is equipped with an other vehicle detection unit that detects another vehicle, a collision prediction unit that predicts that the other vehicle will collide with a side surface of a user's own vehicle, a physical quantity determination unit that determines a physical quantity relationship between relative physical quantities of the other vehicle and the user's own vehicle, and a brake control unit that is capable of individually and independently controlling brakes corresponding to respective vehicle wheels and that causes a braking force of the brakes on a collision side and a braking force of the brakes on a non-collision side to differ from each other, in accordance with the physical quantity relationship determined by the physical quantity determination unit, in the case that a collision is predicted by the collision prediction unit.
