VEHICLE MOTION CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE MOTION CONTROL METHOD

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle motion control device that generates a travel path capable of realizing comfortable ride comfort and high safety with a small physical quantity related to a vehicle behavior such as a longitudinal acceleration, a lateral acceleration, and a vertical acceleration generated when a vehicle passes or avoids with respect to a predetermined region such as unevenness on a course of a vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle motion control device includes a vehicle behavior prediction portion that predicts a physical quantity related to a vehicle behavior that occurs when a vehicle maintains a reference route toward a predetermined region on a course and a physical quantity related to a vehicle behavior that occurs when the vehicle shifts to an avoidance route for avoiding the predetermined region, and a path generation portion that generates a travel path defined by the reference route or the avoidance route in which the physical quantity is smaller than a defined value.
