ABSTRACT:
A radius of a corner is determined by using a corner radius calculating device based on road data and data related to position of a vehicle on the road. An actual turning radius when the vehicle enters the corner is estimated by an actual turning radius calculating device based on at least a vehicle speed and motion parameters of the vehicle, and the motion state of the vehicle is controlled by the motion state control device so that an actual turning radius of the vehicle becomes close to the radius of the corner based on a calculation by radius difference calculating device for calculating a difference between the calculated corner radius and the actual turning radius. Thus, a motion state of the vehicle at a time of traveling around the corner is properly controlled to enable the vehicle to pass the corner reliably.
