Abstract

A motion control system for a vehicle including includes control means for controlling a yaw moment of the vehicle, first detection means for detecting a longitudinal velocity (V) of the vehicle, second detection means for detecting a lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle, and third detection means for detecting a yaw angular acceleration (r_dot) of the vehicle. The yaw moment of the vehicle is controlled by the control means so that a difference between the yaw angular acceleration (r_dot) detected by the third detection means and a value (Gy_dot/V) obtained by dividing the lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle detected by the second detection means by the longitudinal velocity (V) detected by the first detection means, becomes small.

Claims (15)

1. A motion control system for a vehicle comprising:

control means for controlling a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle;

first detection means for detecting a longitudinal velocity (V) of the vehicle;

second detection means for detecting a lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle; and

third detection means for detecting a lateral acceleration (Gy) of the vehicle;

wherein the control means controls longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle based on a physical value that is proportional to a value obtained by dividing the quantity (Gy_dot/V), being a ratio of the lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle detected by the second detection means to the longitudinal velocity (V) of the vehicle detected by the first detection means, by the lateral acceleration (Gy) of the vehicle detected by the third detection means.

2. A motion control system for a vehicle comprising:

control means for controlling a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle;

first detection means for detecting a longitudinal velocity of the vehicle;

second detection means for detecting a lateral acceleration (Gy) of the vehicle; wherein,

lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle is obtained by the control means on the basis of the lateral acceleration (Gy) detected by the second detection means; and

the control means controls longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle based on a physical value that is proportional to a value obtained by dividing the quantity (Gy_dot/V), being a ratio of the lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle to the longitudinal velocity (V) of the vehicle detected by the first detection means, by the lateral acceleration (Gy) of the vehicle detected by the second detection means.

3. A motion control system for a vehicle comprising:

control means for controlling a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle;

wherein the control means controls longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle based on a value obtained by multiplying lateral jerk (Gy_dot) of the vehicle by a prestored gain (KGyV) determined by a longitudinal velocity (V) and a longitudinal acceleration (Gy) of the vehicle.
