VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND VEHICLE

A vehicle control method includes first anti-lock braking system control which is executed focusing on a vehicle deceleration when determination is made that a road is a bad road based on wheel acceleration information, as compared with a case where determination is made that the road is not the bad road, and a second anti-lock braking system control which is executed to reduce a pressure increasing gradient of a brake hydraulic pressure as compared with that in the first anti-lock braking system control. The vehicle control method includes executing the first anti-lock braking system control in a case where a wheel has a recovering tendency from slip when an execution condition of the anti-lock braking system control is satisfied, and executing the second anti-lock braking system control in a case where the wheel has a slipping tendency when the execution condition of the anti-lock braking system control is satisfied.
