ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a roll-over suppressing control apparatus for a vehicle wherein appropriate braking force can be applied to a turning outer wheel in response to a situation and a rolling state of the vehicle to suppress otherwise possible roll-over of the vehicle while assuring the traveling performance. A roll parameter value detection section detects a parameter value corresponding to a rolling state of a vehicle, and a turning type decision section decides a type of turning of the vehicle. A roll-over suppressing control section controls a braking mechanism in a predetermined period so that, when the rolling state of the vehicle upon turning of the vehicle is excessive with respect to a first reference state, an amount of braking force corresponding to the magnitude of the roll parameter value and the type of turning. By the control, while the traveling performance of the vehicle is assured, roll-over of the vehicle can be suppressed effectively to assure the stability of the vehicle.
