  2. Introduction and Outline of The Lecture 1. G-Vectoring Control (GVC) is a vehicle motion control in which the longitudinal motion is controlled depending on the lateral motion . 2 . Mazda has introduced passenger cars with GVC into real market and significant effects of GVC on improving vehicle handling performance not necessarily during severe motion but in a normal vehicle motion by ordinary drivers have been confirmed. 3. A specific feature of the effects of GVC is that though the control gain of the longitudinal motion is very small, a big performance improvement in lateral motion of the driver-vehicle system is available. Therefore, fundamental effects of GVC on handling performance especially on a subtle influence on driver’s handling quality evaluation should be investigated satisfactorily. 4. Since the subjective handling quality evaluation by the ordinary drivers is not always consistent and reliable, a driver model based evaluation method , which is more objective and quantitative evaluation method, has been introduced. 5. The fundamental effect of GVC itself on the handling quality is experimentally investigated using the experimental full drive-by-wire electric powered vehicle by the model based evaluation method. 6. As GVC controls the longitudinal acceleration depending on lateral acceleration, it directly affects the body motion and it seems that a vehicle body motion has a significant effect on the vehicle handling quality evaluation with GVC. Therefore, in order to investigate the effects of GVC on handling quality more in detail, the experimental analysis how the vehicle body motion especially the pitch motion affects the effects of GVC on the handling quality evaluation is investigated.

  5. Movement of ball-in-bowl on board with GVC draws G-G diagram during entering into and out of the curve The name “G - Vectoring Control” comes from this change of the direction of resultant acceleration

  9. Published at JSAE's annual technical meeting EVALUATION BY JOURNALISTS : STRAIGHT AHEAD DRIVING AT 80KPH  Steering correction (standard deviation) reduces with most of the drivers due to GVC.  Subjective comments by the drivers are; “Increased controllability in small steering operation” - “More planted feel at straight ahead driving“ - “Look - ahead distance has naturally increased“ -  GVC improves handling quality by responding to subtle steering operation.
