ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling behavior of a vehicle having a laser radar for detecting an obstacle present on a road on which the vehicle is traveling and operating the brake automatically to avoid contact with the obstacle, and having a power-assist steering actuator including an electric motor installed in the steering system. In the system, it is determined whether the vehicle is steered by the steering wheel as manipulated by the vehicle operator or the vehicle is steered by a force generated by the interplay between the tire and road due to the automatic braking and, when vehicle is steered by the force generated by the tire/road interplay, the electric motor of the steering actuator is controlled to drive in the direction to cancel the force, thereby preventing the vehicle behavior from degrading to deviate from the desired course of travel and preventing various disadvantages such as failure to achieve the desired obstacle detection necessary for an effective obstacle avoidance control.
