    摘要: The steering operation of a motor vehicle with steerable front and rear road wheels is controlled by steering the rear road wheels with an actuator such as an electric motor which produces a steering force dependent on a deviation of the actual rear wheel steering angle from a target rear wheel steering angle. The rear road wheels are thus controlled with a characteristic dependent on the coefficient of friction of a road on which the motor vehicle travels and the steering speed at which the motor vehicle is steered. Typically, a steering control method comprises the steps of detecting the steering angle of the front road wheels, determining a target steering angle for the rear wheels based on the steering angle of the front road wheels, detecting the actual steering angle of the rear road wheels, calculating a steering angle deviation of the actual rear wheel steering angle from the target steering angle, determining a rear wheel steering force based on the steering angle deviation, and steering the rear road wheels to the target steering angle with the determined rear wheel steering force.

    摘要: An actuator for steering the rear wheels in front and rear steering device for a vehicle in which the steering angle of the rear wheels can be manually neutralized should the actuator fail with the rear wheels steered to a certain angle. The actuator may be a type which either directly steers the rear wheels following command from control means or varies the state of means for setting up the steering angle ratio of the rear wheels. In either case, a preferably detachable handle may be engaged to an output end of power means of the actuator. Thus, the situation in which the rear wheels are frozen at a certain steering angle and the driving of the vehicle becomes difficult is safely avoided.

    摘要: A front and rear wheel steering device which varies the steering angle ratio of rear wheels relative to the steering angle of front wheels in relation with vehicle speed is utilized to improve the drive response of a vehicle, as well as to improve the maneuverability of the vehicle. By varying the steering angle ratio which is a function of vehicle speed according to the running condition of the vehicle, the interference of the running condition of the vehicle upon the driving response can be reduced. The driving response may be evaluated in terms of yaw rate or lateral acceleration of the vehicle for a certain steering input. The running condition of the vehicle may comprise any combination of vehicle acceleration, friction between tires and the road surface, load acting between front wheels and the road surface, and load acting between rear wheels and the road surface.

    摘要: In a front and rear wheel steering device contive for vehicle in which the steering angle ratio of the rear wheels relative to the front wheels is variable according to the vehicle speed, provision of a manual selection means for fixing the steering angle ratio to certain fixed values which may be either positive or negative can greatly improve the maneuverability of the vehicle in both high speed and low speed ranges. However, inadvertent manual selection of the steering angle ratio is not desirable since it may cause a sudden change in the steering angle of the rear wheels. Therefore, this invention provides means for preventing the manual selection of the steering angle ratio when it is not proper. This means may be an active prohibition control of manual steering angle ratio selection means, an alarm to warn the driver or a vehicle speed control which limits the vehicle speed. The situations in which the manual selection of the steering angle ratio is not proper may be determined from such factors as vehicle acceleration, transmission shift position, steering rate and so on.
