The aim is to stably control the lateral movement of a vehicle even on a road
where the frictional coefficient is extremely small, such as on a frozen road,
thereby improving the turnability and travelling stability. The device includes
a frictional force adding means for increasing the frictional force of wheels to
a road surface by scattering particulates and a controller which calculates the
target lateral movement value and the actual lateral movement value based on the
signals from wheel speed sensors, a steering angle sensor and a yaw rate sensor
and actuates the right or left frictional force adding means according to the difference
between these two values to increase the frictional force, thereby stabilizing
the lateral movement.
