- slip response control i) slip response control Overview
- vehicle motion control system the orientation of the change of the vehicle caused by the at least one slip between the left wheel 14M L and a right wheel 14M R (hereinafter, "slip due vehicle Slip response control, which is control corresponding to “change” in some cases, is performed.
- the slip response control is , Braking the vehicle in a situation where the direction of the vehicle is changing in a specific direction (clockwise or counterclockwise from the viewpoint from the top of the vehicle) due to the slip, or in a situation where there is a possibility of change This is the control when
- the situation where the direction of the vehicle is changed in a specific direction due to slip is, for example, a place where at least one of the left and right wheels 14 has a small road surface unevenness or friction coefficient during high-speed turning, sudden turning, or turning.
- lateral force reaches the friction such as by passing the, or if spin or drift-out, the difference between the friction coefficient of the portion left wheel 14M L friction coefficient of the portion that passes through and the right wheel 14M R passes when braking the vehicle during running of the large road, the braking force of the wheel friction coefficient is passing through a small portion reaches the limit, the difference between the braking force and the braking force of the right wheel 14M R of the left wheel 14M L
- the situation where there is a possibility that due to the slip direction of the vehicle changes in a specific direction, for example, the friction coefficient of the portion left wheel 14M L friction coefficient and a right wheel 14M R of the portion that passes passes It means a case where the vehicle is traveling on a road surface having a large difference, that is, a so-called straddle road.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram in the case where a counterclockwise spin moment is acting on the vehicle having four wheels arranged at the corners and the main vehicle.
- FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating the front wheel which is a steered wheel in the vehicle having four wheels arranged at the neutral position.
- FIG. 5B shows the case where the steered wheels are steered in the clockwise direction from the neutral position in the vehicle with the four corners arranged.
- FIG. 5C shows the case where the front wheel 12F is steered counterclockwise from the neutral position in the vehicle.
- FIG. 5D shows the front wheel 12F turned clockwise from the neutral position in the vehicle. It is a thing when it is steered to.
- the vehicle is braked in the state shown in FIG.
- the braking force of the right front wheel generates a clockwise moment regardless of the steering direction of the right front wheel
- the braking force generates a counterclockwise moment regardless of the steering direction of the left front wheel. That is, in a vehicle with four corner wheels, in order to suppress the counterclockwise spin moment by controlling the braking force, it is only necessary to increase the braking force of the right front wheel and decrease the braking force of the left front wheel.
- the present vehicle having the diamond wheel arrangement as shown in FIG.
- the braking force of the front wheels 12F differs depending on the steering direction of the front wheels 12F even if the braking operation is the same, in order to cope with the slip-induced vehicle change.
- the control is performed mainly to control the size.
- the braking force of the rear wheel 12R is also controlled in consideration of the turning direction of the front wheel 12F.
- the steering of the rear wheel 12F and the braking force of the left and right wheels 14 are also controlled in order to cope with a slip-induced vehicle change.
- the slip countermeasure control will be described in detail.
- the ECU 130 determines whether or not the vehicle is in a situation where a slip-induced vehicle change is occurring, and whether or not it is in a situation where a slip-induced vehicle change is likely to occur. If it is determined that the vehicle is in that situation, slip response control is executed.

- the friction coefficient ⁇ of the road surface through which each of the wheels 12, 14 passes is estimated by a known technique (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-116932, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-207762). Detailed description will be omitted here.
- the left wheel 14 ML Is smaller than the maximum value of the frictional force between the road surface and the road surface, the braking force of the low ⁇ road side wheel reaches the limit first compared to the braking force of the high ⁇ road side wheel.
- the braking force of the low ⁇ road side wheel is maintained near the maximum value by the ABS described above. That is, when braking the vehicle in straddle path, the left wheel 14M difference is generated between the braking force and the braking force of the right wheel 14M R of L, by its braking force difference, so that the orientation of the vehicle changes It is. Therefore, in this vehicle motion control system, when the vehicle travels on a crossing road, the slip countermeasure control is executed.
- this first determination method may be referred to as road surface state-dependent slip determination.
- the four wheels 12 and 14 are arranged in a rhombus shape in this vehicle, when traveling on a crossing road, the three wheels of the left and right wheels 114 and the front and rear wheels 12 are There is a possibility of passing through a road surface with a small friction coefficient.
- the vehicle with wheels arranged in a diamond shape is likely to fall into an unstable state when the vehicle is braked on a crossing road, compared with a vehicle with wheels arranged at four corners. Therefore, in a vehicle with wheels arranged in a diamond shape, the slip countermeasure control described in detail below is particularly effective.
- the second determination method is for determining whether or not the vehicle is in a situation where a slip-induced vehicle change occurs, and when the degree of change in the vehicle orientation becomes larger than the set level. , It is determined to be under the situation.

It is determined based on the target longitudinal acceleration Gx * obtained from b 2 O.
- the target vehicle body lateral speed Gy * is determined according to the following equation (26) based on the target vehicle body longitudinal speed Gx * and the target yaw rate ⁇ * and target lateral acceleration Gy * determined as described above.
- the Vy * ⁇ ( ⁇ * ⁇ Vx * ⁇ Gy * ) dt (26)
- this second determination method may be referred to as vehicle state-dependent slip determination.
- the yawing index for performing the vehicle state-dependent slip determination is not limited to the above-mentioned vehicle body side slip angle deviation and vehicle body side slip angle change, for example, the vehicle body side slip angle change speed, the magnitude of the actual yaw rate, the target yaw rate, etc. A deviation from the actual yaw rate can also be employed.
- Types of slip response control The slip response control executed in the vehicle motion control system emphasizes both braking of the vehicle and suppression of the slip-induced vehicle change when the change in the vehicle direction is small. As the change in the direction of the vehicle increases, the control is classified into three types of control, that is, first control, second control, and third control so that the suppression of the slip-induced vehicle change is more important than the braking of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 7, when the yawing index f ( ⁇ ) is equal to or less than the first set value f 1 (> f 0 ), the first control is executed, and the yawing index f ( ⁇ ) is the first set value.
- these three types of control control the braking force of the front wheel 12F in consideration of the turning direction of the front wheel 12F with respect to the specific direction which is the direction of vehicle change due to slip.
- the magnitude of the braking force of the front wheel 12F, the control of the braking force of the rear wheel 12R, and the control of the braking force of the left and right wheels 14 are different for each control. As a result, the greater the change in the direction of the vehicle, the more important the suppression of the slip-induced vehicle change is compared to the braking of the vehicle.
- these three types of control will be described in order.
- the first control is control that places importance on braking the vehicle as well as suppressing slip-induced vehicle changes.
- the moment generated in the vehicle body by the braking force of the front wheel 12F is opposite to the specific direction.

図1に、請求可能発明の実施例である車両運動制御システムが搭載された車両を示す。本車両は、菱形車輪配置の車両であり、次世代コミュータとして期待されている。本車両は、車体10と、それの前方部に設けられた前輪12Fと、その前輪12Fの後方において車体10の左部,右部にそれぞれ設けられた左輪12ML,右輪12MRと、それら左輪12ML,右輪12MRの後方に設けられた後輪12Rとを有している。当該車両の平面視を示す図2から解るように、前輪12F,後輪12Rは、車幅方向における中央に配設されている。なお、以下の説明において、前輪12F,後輪12Rの区別を要しない場合には、車輪12と総称し、左輪14ML,右輪14MRの区別を要しない場合には、車輪14と総称することとする。前輪12F,後輪12R,左輪14ML,右輪14MRに関係する構成要素,パラメータ等についても、車輪12,14と同様に、車輪位置を示す添え字として、前輪,左輪,右輪,後輪の各々に対応するものにF,ML,MR,Rを付す場合がある。
本車両の運動は、図2に全体構成を示す車両運動制御システムによって制御される。このシステムは、当該システムの中核をなす制御装置としての電子制御ユニット(以下、「ECU」と略す)130を備えている。この、ECU130は、コンピュータを主体とする装置であり、左輪駆動装置[DML]64ML,右輪駆動装置[DMR]64MR,左輪制動装置[BML]70ML,右輪制動装置[BMR]70MR,前輪転舵装置[SF]98F,後輪転舵装置[SR]98R,前輪制動装置[BF]114F,後輪制動装置[BR]114Rを制御することで、当該車両の運動を制御するように構成されている。ちなみに、ECU130は、それら各装置の電磁モータの作動の制御のためのドライバ回路をも有している。
a)加減速制御
i)駆動力の決定
本車両の運動の制御のうち、車両を加速させる制御および車両を減速させる制御である加減速制御は、以下のように行われる。車両を加速させる場合には、運転者によってアクセルペダル22が操作され、そのアクセルペダル22の操作量に応じた駆動力を車両に発生させる。具体的には、アクセルセンサ136によって検出されたアクセルペダルの操作量aOに基づいて、次式(1)に従って、左右の車輪14ML,14MRに与えられる駆動力FD-ML *,FD-MR *が決定される。なお、次式におけるKDは、その駆動力FD-ML *,FD-MR *を決定するための駆動力ゲインである。ちなみに、その駆動力ゲインKDは、定数であってもよく、また、何らかのパラメータに基づいて変化するようなものであってもよい。
FD-ML *=FD-MR *=KD・aO ・・・(1)
一方で、車両を減速させる場合には、運転者によってブレーキペダル24が操作され、そのブレーキペダル24の操作量に応じた制動力を車両に発生させる。具体的には、ブレーキセンサ138によって検出されたブレーキペダルの操作量bOに基づいて、次式(2)~(5)に従って、4つの車輪12F,14ML,14MR,12Rに与えられる制動力FB-F *,FB-ML *,FB-MR *,FB-R *が決定される。
FB-F *=KB-F・bO ・・・(2)
FB-ML *=KB-ML・bO ・・・(3)
FB-MR *=KB-MR・bO ・・・(4)
FB-R *=KB-R・bO ・・・(5)
なお、上記の(2)~(5)式におけるKBは、制動力FB-F *,FB-ML *,FB-MR *,FB-R *を決定するための制動力ゲインである。また、それら制動力ゲインは、車両に発生させるべき制動力を4つの車輪12,14の各々に配分する割合に応じたものとなっており、それら制動力ゲインは、制動力配分比と考えることもできる。それら制動力ゲインは、通常、静止状態における4つの車輪12,14の各々の輪荷重に基づいて設定されている。そして、後に詳しく説明するが、本システムにおいては、それら制動力ゲインを変更すること、換言すれば、制動力配分比を変更することが可能とされている。
前輪12F,後輪12Rに付与するのは、前述したように制動力のみであるため、上記のように決定された制動力FB-F *,FB-R *が、目標制動力であり、それら前輪目標制動力FB-F *,後輪目標制動力FB-R *に基づいて、それら目標制動力FB-F *,FB-R *がそれぞれ得られるように、制動装置114F,114Rが制御される。詳しくは、それら目標制動力FB-F *,FB-R *に応じた大きさの電流が、バッテリから制動装置114F,114Rの電磁モータに供給される。
FML *=FD-ML *-FB-ML * ・・・(6)
FMR *=FD-MR *-FB-MR * ・・・(7)
そして、駆制動力F*が0より大きい場合には、車両に駆動力を与えるものとし、駆制動力F*が0より小さい場合には、車両に制動力を与えるものとされる。
FML *=FML *+ΔF/2 ・・・(8)
FMR *=FMR *-ΔF/2 ・・・(9)
したがって、車両旋回時には、駆動装置64ML,64MR,制動装置70ML,70MRの制御は、補正後の左輪目標駆制動力FML *,右輪目標駆制動力FMR *に基づいて行われる。
また、本車両運動制御では、各車輪12,14の各々において、アンチロック制御が行われる。つまり、本車両は、いわゆるABSが搭載されたものとなっている。そのアンチロック制御については、既知の技術であるため簡単に説明する。そのアンチロック制御は、各車輪12,14の各々のタイヤのスリップ率ρが1となり車輪がロックすることを防止すべく、対応する制動装置70,114の電磁モータの制御によって、その車輪に付与する制動力を適切な大きさ付近で維持する制御である。具体的には、まず、車両の走行している速度Vと、車輪速センサ130により検出された車輪速vとから、各車輪12,14のタイヤのスリップ率ρが、次式(10)に従って演算される。
ρ=(V-v)/V ・・・(10)
そして、そのスリップ率ρと、車輪速vから得られる車輪の加減速度とに基づいて、対応する制動装置70,114の電磁モータが制御されることで、車輪の制動力が適切な大きさ付近で維持されるようになっている。
V=√(Vx2+Vy2) ・・・(11)
車体前後速度Vxは、前後加速度センサ140の検出値から演算されたものであり、車体横速度Vyは、次式(12)に従って推定されたものである(既知の技術である)。
Vy=∫(γ・Vx-Gy)dt ・・・(12)
ここで、γは、実際に実現している車両のヨーレート(実ヨーレート)γであり、ヨーレートセンサ142の検出値から取得され、Gyは、車両に実際に生じている実際の横加速度(実横加速度)であり、横加速度センサ140の検出値から取得される。
本車両運動制御では、車両の旋回時には、前輪12Fの転舵角である前輪転舵角δF、、後輪12Rの転舵角である後輪転舵角δRのそれぞれの目標が決定されて、前輪転舵量制御,後輪転舵量制御がなされ、左輪14ML,右輪14MRの各々に与えられるべき駆制動力FML *,右輪駆制動力FMR *の差ΔFが決定されて、左右輪駆制動力差制御がなされる。
前輪12Fの転舵角δFの制御は、ステアリングホイール20の操作量である操作角θに基づいて行われる。まず、ステアリングセンサ134によって検出されている操作角θに基づいて、次式(13)に従って、車両旋回において車両に生じるべき横加速度Gyである目標横加速度Gy*が決定される。つまり、目標横加速度Gy*が上記操作角θに応じた大きさに決定される。ちなみに、KGは、目標横加速度Gy*を決定するための横加速度ゲインであり、定数であってもよく、何らかのパラメータによって値が変化するようなものであってもよい。
Gy*=KG・θ ・・・(13)
車両に実際に生じている実際の横加速度(実横加速度)Gyは、横加速度センサ140の検出値から取得されており、上記目標横加速度Gy*に対する実横加速度Gyの偏差である横加速度偏差ΔGyが、次式(14)に従って認定される。
ΔGy=Gy*-Gy ・・・(14)
δF *=PF・ΔGy+IF・∫ΔGy・dt+DF・dΔGy/dt ・・・(15)
上記式(15)の右辺第1項,第2項,第3項は、それぞれ、比例項(P項),積分項(I項),微分項(D項)であり、PF,IF,DFは、目標前輪転舵角δF *を決定するための比例ゲイン,積分ゲイン,微分ゲインである。なお、それらゲインPF,IF,DFは、いずれも、定数であってもよく、何らかのパラメータによって値が変化するようなものであってもよい。目標前輪転舵角δF *の決定後、前輪転舵角センサ146Fによって検出されている実際の前輪転舵角δFが、その目標前輪転舵角δF *となるように、前輪転舵装置98Fの有する電磁モータへの供給電流量が決定され、その電流量の電流がその電磁モータに供給される。
左輪14MLの駆制動力FML *と右輪14MRの駆制動力FMR *に駆制動力差ΔFをつける制御は、ステアリングホイール20の操作量である操作角θと、車両が走行している速度Vとに基づいて行われる。まず、ステアリングセンサ134によって検出されている操作角θと、前述のように求められた車速V(=√(Vx2+Vy2))とに基づいて、次式(13)に従って、車両旋回において実現すべきヨーレートγである目標ヨーレートγ*が決定される。つまり、目標ヨーレートγ*が上記操作角θを車速Vで除したものに応じた大きさに決定される。ちなみに、Kγは、目標ヨーレートγ*を決定するためのヨーレートゲインであり、定数であってもよく、何らかのパラメータによって値が変化するようなものであってもよい。
γ*=Kγ・θ・V ・・・(16)
実際に実現している車両のヨーレート(実ヨーレート)γは、ヨーレートセンサ142の検出値から取得されており、上記目標ヨーレートγ*に対する実ヨーレートγの偏差であるヨーレート偏差Δγが、次式(17)に従って認定される。
Δγ=γ*-γ ・・・(17)
ΔF=PLR・Δγ+ILR・∫Δγ・dt+DLR・dΔγ/dt ・・・(18)
上記式(18)の右辺第1項,第2項,第3項は、それぞれ、比例項(P項),積分項(I項),微分項(D項)であり、PLR,ILR,DLRは、上記左右輪駆制動力差ΔFを決定するための比例ゲイン,積分ゲイン,微分ゲインである。なお、それらゲインPLR,ILR,DLRは、いずれも、定数であってもよく、何らかのパラメータによって値が変化するようなものであってもよい。左右輪駆制動力差ΔFの決定後、その左右輪駆制動力差ΔFに基づいて、先に説明したように、上記左輪駆制動力FML *,右輪駆制動力FMR *の補正が行われる。
後輪12Rの転舵角δRの制御は、前輪転舵制御において認定された横加速度偏差ΔGyと、左右輪駆制動力差制御において認定されたヨーレート偏差Δγに基づいて行われる。まず、それら横加速度偏差ΔGy,ヨーレート偏差Δγに基づいて、次式(19)に従って、公転求心加速度偏差ΔGoが決定される。
ΔGo=ΔGy-V・Δγ ・・・(19)
この公転求心加速度偏差ΔGoは、目標公転求心加速度Go*に対する、実際の公転求心加速度(実公転求心加速度)Goの偏差と等価なものと考えることができる。ちなみに、目標公転求心加速度Go*は、次式(20)で、実公転求心加速度Goは、次式(21)で、それぞれ表わされるものである。
Go*=Gy*-V・γ* ・・・(20)
Go=Gy-V・γ ・・・(21)
δR *=PR・ΔGO+IR・∫ΔGO・dt+DR・dΔGO/dt ・・・(22)
上記式(22)の右辺第1項,第2項,第3項は、それぞれ、比例項(P項),積分項(I項),微分項(D項)であり、PR,IR,DRは、目標後輪転舵角δR *を決定するための比例ゲイン,積分ゲイン,微分ゲインである。なお、それらゲインPR,IR,DRは、いずれも、定数であってもよく、何らかのパラメータによって値が変化するようなものであってもよい。目標後輪転舵角δR *の決定後、後輪転舵角センサ146Rによって検出されている実際の後輪転舵角δRが、その目標後輪転舵角δR *となるように、後輪転舵装置98Rの有する電磁モータへの供給電流量が決定され、その電流量の電流がその電磁モータに供給される。なお、上記制御方法に代えて、上記式(22)によって、直接、上記電磁モータへの供給電流量を決定し、その電流量の電流が、電磁モータに供給されるような制御を行うようにしてもよい。
i)スリップ対応制御の概要
本車両運動制御システムでは、左輪14MLと右輪14MRとの少なくとも一方のスリップに起因して生じる車両の向きの変化(以下、「スリップ起因車両変化」という場合がある)に対応する制御であるスリップ対応制御が実行されるようになっている。そのスリップとは、左輪14MLと右輪14MRとの少なくとも一方において、その少なくとも一方の車輪に作用する力がそれと路面との間の摩擦力の限界付近に達することをいい、スリップ対応制御は、そのスリップに起因して車両の向きが特定方向(車両上方からの視点において、右回り方向あるいは左回り方向)に変化している状況下、あるいは、変化する虞がある状況下で車両を制動させる場合の制御である。
本車両運動制御システムでは、ECU130において、スリップ起因車両変化が生じている状況下にあるか否か、スリップ起因車両変化が生じる虞がある状況下にあるか否かの判定が行われており、その状況下にあると判定された場合に、スリップ対応制御が実行される。
f(β)=K1・Δβ+K2・dβ/dt (K1,K2:定数) ・・・(23)
ここで、上記の(23)式の右辺第1項のΔβは、車両の目標となる車体横滑り角である目標車体横滑り角β*と、車両の実際の車体横滑り角である実車体横滑り角βとの偏差である車体横滑り角偏差(=β*-β)であり、第2項のdβ/dtは、実車体横滑り角βの微分値、つまり、実車体横滑り角変化である。なお、それら目標車体横滑り角β*および実車体横滑り角βは、次式で表される。
β=Vy/Vx ・・・(24)
β*=Vy*/Vx* ・・・(25)
(24)式のVxおよびVyは、前述したようにして取得されたものである。また、(25)式のVx*は、目標となる車体前後速度であり、Vy*は、目標となる車体横速度である。目標車体前後速度Vx*は、前述したようにして得られた実車体前後速度Vxと、アクセルセンサ136によって検出されたアクセルペダルの操作量aOおよびブレーキセンサ138によって検出されたブレーキペダルの操作量bOから得られる目標となる前後加速度Gx*とに基づいて決定される。また、目標車体横速度Gy*は、その目標車体前後速度Gx*と、前記のようにして決定された目標ヨーレートγ*および目標横加速度Gy*とに基づいて、次式(26)に従って決定される。
Vy*=∫(γ*・Vx*-Gy*)dt ・・・(26)
そして、(23)式により演算された値が閾値f0を超えた場合に、スリップ起因車両変化が生じている状況下にあると判定し、スリップ対応制御が実行されるようになっている。なお、以下の説明において、この第2の判定手法を、車両状態依拠スリップ判定という場合がある。ちなみに、上記車両状態依拠スリップ判定を行うためのヨーイング指標は、上述した車体横滑り角偏差,車体横滑り角変化に限らず、例えば、車体横滑り角の変化速度や、実ヨーレートの大きさ、目標ヨーレートと実ヨーレートとの偏差等を採用することもできる。
本車両運動制御システムにおいて実行されるスリップ対応制御は、車両の向きの変化が小さい場合には、車両の制動とスリップ起因車両変化の抑制との両者を重視し、車両の向きの変化が大きくなるほど、車両の制動に比べてスリップ起因車両変化の抑制を重視するように、第1制御,第2制御,第3制御の3種類の制御に分類される。図7に示すように、ヨーイング指標f(β)が第1設定値f1(>f0)以下である場合には、第1制御が実行され、ヨーイング指標f(β)が第1設定値f1より大きく、かつ、第2設定値f2より小さい場合には、第2制御が実行され、ヨーイング指標f(β)が第2設定値f2以上である場合には、第3制御が実行される。それら3種類の制御は、先にも説明したように、スリップ起因車両変化の方向である特定方向に対して、前輪12Fの転舵の方向をも考慮して、その前輪12Fの制動力を制御することを主体とするものであるが、後に詳しく説明するが、それぞれの制御で、前輪12Fの制動力の大きさや、後輪12Rの制動力の制御,左右輪14の制動力の制御が異なり、そのことにより、車両の向きの変化が大きくなるほど、車両の制動に比べてスリップ起因車両変化の抑制を重視するようになっている。以下に、それら3種類の制御を、順に説明する。
まず、第1制御は、スリップ起因車両変化の抑制とともに、車両の制動をも重視する制御である。図5(c)および図6(a)に示すように、特定方向と同じ方向に前輪12Fが転舵されている場合、前輪12Fの制動力によって車体に生じるモーメントは、特定方向とは逆方向のモーメント、つまり、アンチスピンモーメントとなる。一方、図5(d)および図6(b)に示すように、特定方向とは逆方向に前輪12Fが転舵されている場合、前輪12Fの制動力によって車体に生じるモーメントは、特定方向と同じ方向のモーメント、つまり、スピンモーメントとなる。そのことを考慮して、この第1制御を含むすべてのスリップ対応制御では、前輪12Fの制動力が、特定方向と同じ方向に前輪12Fが転舵されている場合に、特定方向とは逆方向に転舵されている場合に比較して大きくされるようになっている。また、第1制御では、後輪12Rの制動力は、特定方向と同じ方向に前輪12Fが転舵されている場合に、特定方向とは逆方向に転舵されている場合に比較して小さくされるようになっている。さらに、その前後輪12の制動力の制御は、前輪12Fの制動力と後輪12Rの制動力との和が、同じブレーキ操作に対して一定となるように行われる。
KB-F=α1・KB-F ・・・(27)
KB-R=(2-α1)・KB-R ・・・(28)
ここで、α1は、制動力ゲインKB-F,KB-Rを補正するための補正係数であり、その補正係数α1と前輪12Fの転舵角δFとの関係を、図8に示す。その図8から分かるように、前輪制動力ゲインKB-Fは、特定方向と同じ方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど大きくされ、特定方向とは逆方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど小さくされる。一方、後輪制動力ゲインKB-Rは、特定方向と同じ方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど小さくされ、特定方向とは逆方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど大きくされる。そのことにより、前輪12Fの目標制動力FB-F *は、特定方向と同じ方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど大きくされ、特定方向とは逆方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど小さくされ、後輪12Rの目標制動力FB-R *は、特定方向と同じ方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど小さくされ、特定方向とは逆方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど大きくされるのである。
ΔFB-ML=FB-ML *-FB-ML ・・・(29)
ΔFB-MR=FB-MR *-FB-MR ・・・(30)
そして、前輪12Fと後輪12Rとへの配分比がα1:2-α1となるように、それら左右輪14の制動力偏差ΔFB-ML,ΔFB-MRを足した分の制動力が、前輪12Fと後輪12Rとに配分される。つまり、前後輪12の目標制動力FB-F *,FB-R *が、次式に従って補正される。
FB-F *=FB-F *+(ΔFB-ML+ΔFB-MR)・α1/2 ・・・(31)
FB-R *=FB-R *+(ΔFB-ML+ΔFB-MR)・(2-α1)/2 ・・・(32)
なお、上述した左右輪14の制動力の不足分を前後輪12で補う制御は、前輪12Fと後輪12Rとに制動力を発生させる余裕がある場合にのみ、行われるようにしてもよい。例えば、前輪12Fおよび後輪12Rに対応する路面の摩擦係数μとスリップ率ρとに基づいて、制動力の発生可能な最大値を推定し、前輪12Fと後輪12Rとに制動力を発生させる余裕があるか否かを判断するようにすることが可能である。
δR *=δR *+K3・Δβ+K4・dβ/dt (K3,K4:定数) ・・・(33)
第2制御は、第1制御と同様の制御である前後輪12の制動力制御と後輪12Rの転舵量制御に加えて、スリップ起因車両変化を抑制すべく、左右輪14の制動力の制御も実行される。その左右輪14の制動力制御は、左輪14MLの制動力と右輪14MRの制動力との大きさが同じ大きさとなるようにして、それらの制動力差によるモーメントを無くす制御である。具体的には、まず、左右輪14に対応する制動力センサ148の検出値に基づいて、左右輪14の各々に実際に付与されている制動力(実制動力)FB-ML,FB-MRが取得される。そして、それらのうちの大きい方の制動力が小さい方の制動力と同じ大きさとなるように、制動力を低減させるべく、それらのうちの小さい方の制動力が、左右輪14の目標制動力FB-ML *,FB-MR *とされるようになっている。
第3制御は、第1制御および第2制御と同様の後輪12Rの転舵量制御が実行されるが、4つの車輪12,14の制動力制御が、それら第1制御および第2制御とは異なる。まず、後輪12Rの制動力が0とされ、その後輪12の制動力によるスピンモーメントが発生しないようにされる。前輪12Fの制動力の制御は、第1制御および第2制御と同様に、前輪12Fに対応する制動力ゲインKB-Fを変更することによって行われ、前輪制動力ゲインKB-Fは、次式に従って補正される。

なお、補正係数α3と前輪12Fの転舵角δFとの関係を、図9に示す。その図9から分かるように、前輪制動力ゲインKB-Fは、特定方向と同じ方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど大きくされ、特定方向とは逆方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど小さくされことにより、前輪12Fの目標制動力FB-F *は、特定方向と同じ方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど大きくされ、特定方向とは逆方向への転舵量が大きくなるほど小さくされる。

そのような制御により、左右輪14の制動力差によってアンチスピンモーメントを発生させるようになっている。
上述した車両の運動制御は、図10にフローチャートを示す車両運動制御プログラムが、イグニッションスイッチがON状態とされている間、短い時間間隔(例えば、数μsec~数十μsec)をおいてECU130により繰り返し実行されることによって行われる。以下に、その制御のフローを、図に示すフローチャートを参照しつつ、簡単に説明する。
上述したような制御を実行して車両の運動を制御するための制御装置として機能するECU130は、前述した各種の処理を実行する各種の機能部を有していると考えることができる。詳しく言えば、図20に示すように、ECU130は、上記スリップ判定処理サブルーチンのS31~S33の処理を実行して、スリップ起因車両変化が生じている状況下あるいはスリップ起因車両変化が生じる虞がある状況下にあるか否かを判定するスリップ判定部200と、上記加減速制御サブルーチンを実行して、前後輪12の制動力と、左輪14の駆制動力を制御する機能部である駆制動力制御部202と、上記前輪転舵量制御サブルーチンを実行して前輪12Fの転舵量を制御する機能部である前輪転舵量制御部204と、上記後輪転舵量制御サブルーチンを実行して後輪12Rの転舵量を制御する機能部である後輪転舵量制御部206とを有しいていると考えることができる。その駆制動力制御部202は、加減速制御サブルーチンのS81の処理を実行して駆動力を制御する機能部である駆動力制御部210と、加減速制御サブルーチンのS82~85の処理を実行して制動力を制御する機能部である制動力制御部212と、上記左右輪駆制動力差制御を実行する機能部として左右輪駆制動力差制御部214とを有していると考えることができる。なお、制動力制御部212は、ブレーキペダル操作量と制動力ゲインとの積に基づいて目標制動力を決定する目標制動力決定部216を有していると考えることができる。
先に詳しく説明したように、本車両のような車輪特殊配置車両は、スリップ起因車両変化が生じている状況下あるいはスリップ起因車両変化が生じる虞がある状況下で車両を制動させる場合、前輪の制動力により車体に生じる回転モーメントが、それの転舵の方向によって、スリップに起因する車両の向きの変化を抑える場合と、その変化を助長する場合がある。本実施例の車両運動制御システムによれば、前輪の転舵の方向に応じて前輪の制動力を異なる大きさとすることで、スリップに起因する車両の向きの変化を助長しないようにする、あるいは、その変化を効果的に抑えることが可能であり、走行中の安定性が向上したものとなっているのである。
なお、上記実施例の車両運動制御システムは、3種類のスリップ対応制御がヨーイング指標f(β)に大きさで切り換えられるように構成されていたが、そのことに限定されない。例えば、またぎ路を走行していると判定された場合であって、後輪12Rも摩擦係数が小さい路面を走行している場合、つまり、後輪12Rが走行している路面の摩擦係数μRが設定値より小さい場合には、後輪12Rの制動力を大きくできないことを鑑み、後輪12Rの制動力を0とする制御を含む上記第3制御を実行するように構成することが可能である。
