    Abstract: In a steering assistance apparatus mounted in a vehicle, a steering input device and a turning device differentiate at a transmission ratio that is a ratio of an amount of change in the turning angle to an amount of change in the steering angle. A turning device actuator actuates the turning device. A controller executes an automatic steering mode, in which the controller determines the turning angle based on at least one of a travel condition and travel path information of the vehicle and controls the turning device actuator so as to achieve the determined turning angle. If detecting an input variation from the steering input device during execution of the automatic steering mode, the controller changes the transmission ratio to a value less than the transmission ratio in the automatic steering mode and prioritizes a manual steering mode over the automatic steering mode.

    Abstract: In a drive assist system, a map data acquiring section acquires at least one of a driver's operation ability and a load of a vehicle. An adjustment section determines an assist control amount as a control parameter of drive assist for the vehicle so that a degree of the driver's operation is increased according to reduction of the driver's operation ability or increasing of the load of the vehicle. An assist control amount calculation section transmits the assist control amount to a steering motor and a notification section so as to execute the drive assist for the vehicle.

    Abstract: A steering control apparatus includes an assist deviation calculator calculating an assist deviation, a follow deviation calculator calculating a follow deviation, a unit converter converting a measurement unit, a weighting factor setter setting a weighting factor, a deviation mixer calculating a controlled deviation by mixing the deviations, and an instruction value generator generating an assist instruction value that drives a motor to output (i) an automatic steering torque and (ii) an assist torque. The assist instruction value is generated based on the calculated controlled deviation, and by decreasing the controlled deviation in a feedback manner, so that the drive of the motor leads to a decrease of the calculated controlled deviation, thereby switching the assist and follow control without a wrong steering feeling, and without deterioration of each of assist/follow functions.
