The invention relates to a method for improving lateral stability under the condition of turning/braking vehicles, in particular to an automobile brake control method for improving lateral stability of turning/braking vehicles. By an off-line simulation method, from the angle of whole-vehicle dynamics, based on optimization technology, the invention calibrates an optimal target slip-rate working interval of an automobile ABS system comprehensively considering both longitudinal braking performance and lateral braking performance under the turning/braking condition, forms a curved surface from target slip rate to steering angle to initial braking speed, and then supplies the target slip rate for dynamically adjusting wheels inside and outside a bend to an online ABS system. The online ABS system adjusts the pressure of a braking wheel cylinder to reasonably allocate longitudinal force and lateral force that every wheel bears when a vehicle turns/brakes so as to improve the lateral stability of the vehicle. On the basis of the prior ABS system, the method has the advantage of allowing the ABS system to have part of the functions of an ESP system without increasing any cost.
