    摘要: A vehicle attitude control apparatus, wherein a corrected behavior index value for steering is determined in such a manner that the deviation between a target behavior index value for a vehicle and a corrected behavior index value for steering decreases, as an instability index value correlating to the amount of under-steer increases, and when the target behavior index value and the behavior index value are equal, the corrected behavior index value for steering is set to equal the behavior index value. A corrected behavior index value for braking is determined in such a manner that the deviation between the target behavior index value and a corrected behavior index value for braking increases, as the instability index value increases, and when the target behavior index value and the behavior index value are equal, the corrected behavior index value for braking is set to equal the behavior index value. The steering actuator and braking forces are controlled in such a manner that, when not in the state of under-steer, the behavior index value follows the target behavior index value, and when in the state of under-steer, the corrected behavior index value for steering and corrected behavior index value for braking follow the target behavior index value.

    摘要: A motor vehicle steering system is provided which includes: an operation member for steering a motor vehicle; a steering mechanism for turning steerable wheels of the motor vehicle; a first actuator and a second actuator each operative to apply a driving force to the steering mechanism; and a clutch mechanism operative to mechanically engage and disengage the operation member to or from the steering mechanism. When the first and second actuators operate normally, the clutch mechanism is brought into the disengaged state, and a driving force is applied to the steering mechanism from the first and second actuators and, when one of the first and second actuators malfunctions, the clutch mechanism is brought into the engaged state, and the steering assist force is generated by the other normal actuator in accordance with the operation of the operation member.

    摘要: In a vehicle attitude control apparatus, a steering actuator is controlled so that a steering angle matches a target steering angle. In an understeer condition; the braking force on the inside wheels is increased and drive power applied to the outside wheels is larger than applied to inside wheels. In an oversteer condition, the braking force on the outside wheels is increased and drive power applied to the inside wheels is larger than applied to outside wheels. The steering actuator is controlled so that a behavior index value corresponding to the change in the vehicle'behavior, that occurs based on the change in the steering angle, matches a target behavior index value that reflects the amount of operation of an operation member. A vehicle yaw moment and an amount of control of the steering actuator vary due to steer conditions, wheel lateral slip angle and brake force control.

    摘要: In a steering device, the rotation of the input shaft corresponding to the steering operation is transmitted to the output shaft via a rotation transmission mechanism, and is transmitted from the output shaft to the wheels of the vehicle by a steering gear so that the steering angle varies. A control device controls an electromotive actuator used to drive a constituent element of the rotation transmission mechanism in accordance with a variable quantity that expresses the traveling conditions of the vehicle, on the basis of the respective detection values of an input sensor used to detect the amount of input into the input shaft, an output sensor used to detect the amount of output of the output shaft and a traveling condition sensor used to detect the variable quantity that expresses the traveling conditions of the vehicle, so that the ratio of the transmission of rotation from the input shaft to the output shaft is altered in accordance with the variable quantity that expresses the traveling conditions.

    摘要: In a steering device for vehicle, the movement of a steering actuator, which is driven in accordance with the rotating operation of an operating member, is transmitted to the vehicle wheels such that the steering angle changes without mechanically coupling the operating member to the wheels. A target yaw rate, which accords with a load torque, that is sum of the control torque generated by an operating actuator and driver operating torque, and an operating angle of the operating member resulting from the functioning of this load torque, are computed. The steering actuator is controlled such that the vehicle yaw rate follows the target yaw rate. The operating actuator is controlled such that the operating angle follows a target operating angle of the operating member corresponding to a behavior index value comprising at least yaw rate of the vehicle.
