estimation device estimating a grip factor of a front wheel to road surface;

distribution-ratio-setting device setting, in accordance with the grip factor of the front wheel, a distribution ratio for distribution of the vehicle-control target value among actuators of at least two of a steering system, a brake system, and a drive system; and

control device controlling the actuators of the at least two systems in accordance with the vehicle-control target value distributed at the distribution ratio.

2. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 1 , wherein the target vehicle behavioral-quantity calculation device calculates a target yaw rate serving as the target vehicle behavioral-quantity; and

the vehicle-control target value calculation device calculates the vehicle-control target value on the basis of a difference between the target yaw rate and an actual yaw rate serving as the vehicle behavioral-quantity.

3. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 1 , wherein the target vehicle behavioral-quantity calculation device includes device calculating a target side force, which serves as the target vehicle behavioral-quantity, and device calculating a target yaw moment of the vehicle, which serves as the target vehicle behavioral-quantity; and

the vehicle-control target value calculation device calculates the vehicle-control target value on the basis of a difference between the target side force and a side force, which serves as the vehicle behavioral-quantity, and a difference between the target yaw moment of the vehicle and an actual yaw moment of the vehicle, which serves as the vehicle behavioral-quantity.

4. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle behavioral-quantity detection detects a quantity of driver's operation applied to driving-operation device of the vehicle; and

the distribution-ratio-setting device sets a distribution ratio for distribution of the vehicle-control target value among the actuators of at least two of the steering system, the brake system, and the drive system in accordance with the quantity of the driver's operation and the grip factor of the front wheel.

5. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 1 , further comprising acquisition device for acquiring a peripheral condition of the vehicle,

wherein the distribution-ratio-setting device sets a distribution ratio for distribution of the vehicle-control target value among the actuators of at least two of the steering system, the brake system, and the drive system in accordance with peripheral-condition data regarding the vehicle acquired by the acquisition device and the grip factor of the front wheel.

6. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 5 , wherein the acquisition device includes vehicle distance detection device for detecting a distance between a vehicle and another vehicle as measured at least in a running direction of the vehicle or in a direction opposite the running direction; and the distribution-ratio-setting device changes the distribution ratio for distribution of the vehicle-control target value to the actuator(s) of the brake system or the drive system in accordance with the detected distance.

7. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 5 , further comprising:

image capture device, as the acquisition device, capturing an image of a peripheral condition of the vehicle;

calculation device calculating a radius of an approaching curve of a lane in which the vehicle is running, on the basis of image data regarding the peripheral condition of the vehicle captured by the image capture device; and

judgment device judging whether or not the vehicle can run along the curve having the calculated radius;

wherein when the judgment device judges that the vehicle cannot run along the curve having the calculated radius while running in the lane, the vehicle-control target value calculation device calculates the vehicle-control target value while making correction for allowing the vehicle to run along the curve while running in the lane; and

the distribution-ratio-setting device sets a distribution ratio for distribution of the vehicle-control target value among the actuators of at least two of the steering system, the brake system, and the drive system such that the vehicle can run along the curve while running in the lane.

8. An integrated control apparatus for a vehicle as described in claim 5 , further comprising obstacle judgment device judging from peripheral-condition data acquired by the acquisition device whether or not an obstacle is present ahead of the vehicle;

wherein when the obstacle judgment device judges that an obstacle is present, the vehicle-control target value calculation device calculates the vehicle-control target value while making correction for the vehicle to avoid collision with the obstacle; and

the distribution-ratio-setting device sets a distribution ratio for distribution of the vehicle-control target value among the steering system, the brake system, and the drive system such that the vehicle avoids collision with the obstacle.
