ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control apparatus, which includes a hydraulic pressure regulating device disposed between a master cylinder and a pair of wheel brake cylinders included in each of a dual hydraulic circuit, and a monitor for monitoring state variable of the vehicle. It is determined whether a wheel out of the wheels operatively associated with the pair of wheel brake cylinders is located on the inside of a curve along which the vehicle is turning, or located on the outside of the curve. Also, a state of road holding of the wheel located on the inside of the curve is determined. A desired value for the wheel located on the outside of the curve is set at least on the basis of the road holding determination. And, the pressure regulating device is controlled in response to a result of comparison between the desired value and the monitored state variable, to regulate the hydraulic braking pressure in the wheel brake cylinder operatively associated with the wheel located on the outside of the curve, whereby the vehicle is decelerated smoothly, when the wheel located on the inside of the curve has come to be apart from the road.
