With such a configuration, the connection angle deg is equal to or larger than the connection angle threshold deg_m corresponding to the vehicle body speed, and the connection angular speed ddeg is also the same as the connection angular speed threshold ddeg_.
m or more, until the predetermined release condition is satisfied,
The braking force is automatically applied to the wheels of the towed vehicle 40. For this reason, the connection angle is extended to zero as the vehicle is pulled from the rear side by the braking force of the towed vehicle 40, and abnormal movement of the connection angle (vehicle behavior) can be corrected. For example, when a braking force is applied to the wheels of the towed vehicle 40 during a turn, it is possible to prevent the coupling angle deg from being rapidly amplified by the inertia of the towed vehicle 40, and to prevent the occurrence of the jack knife phenomenon. it can. Further, when the braking force is applied to the towed vehicle 40, the connection angle deg is extended to 0, so that even in the process of the towed vehicle 20 returning from turning to straight traveling, it is possible to smoothly recover from the dogleg posture. Also, by using the ABS control or the well-known vehicle behavior stabilization control (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-164932), a decrease in stability in the lateral direction due to the wheel lock of the towed vehicle 40 can be avoided. The braking force on the towed vehicle 40 can be effectively functioned to prevent the jackknife phenomenon and to reshape the dogleg posture.

Since the control map of the connection angle threshold deg_m and the connection angular speed threshold ddeg_m has a vehicle speed dependency (the threshold decreases as the vehicle speed increases), for example, at the intersection, the towing vehicle 40 Inadvertent application of braking force to the vehicle is reduced, and a smooth left / right turn of the vehicle can be secured. By estimating the road surface μ, the connection angle threshold value deg_m and the connection angular speed threshold value ddeg_m in the control map are corrected according to the estimated value of the road surface μ, and the load (loading amount) of the towed vehicle 40 is adjusted.
When the connection angle threshold deg_m and the connection angular velocity threshold ddeg_m in the control map are corrected according to the detected load value as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the braking force of the towed vehicle 40 is detected. Can be finely controlled in accordance with the running condition of the vehicle, and the sensitivity of control start can be further increased.
