VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

Provided are a state quantity detection means for detecting a state quantity indicating a vehicle body orientation, and a friction brake orientation control means for minimizing pitching motion in the vehicle body orientation by applying braking torque from friction brakes to at least front wheels and minimizing bouncing motion in the vehicle body orientation by applying braking torque from the friction brakes to all four wheels, the friction brake orientation control means prioritizing minimizing pitching motion over minimizing bouncing motion.
