    摘要: A wheeled vehicle is equipped with a feedforward steering control system which steers the vehicle through front or rear road wheels in accordance with a driver's steering input such as an angular displacement of a steering wheel, and a negative feedback system which senses a turning behavior of the vehicle such as a yaw rate or a lateral acceleration, and steers the vehicle through the front or rear wheels in such a negative direction as to reduce the turning behavior. The feedforward system may control the angular direction of the front or rear wheels in accordance with a linear combination of the steering input and the time derivative of the steering input, or may control the angular directions of both of the front and rear wheels in accordance with different transfer functions between the steering input and the front and rear wheel angles. The negative feedback system is combined with the feedforward system in various ways to provide desired characteristics of the turning behavior. The negative feedback quantity determined by the negative feedback system may be proportional to the sensed turning behavior, or may be determined in accordance with the difference between the sensed turning behavior, and the reference turning behavior calculated from the vehicle speed and steering input.

    摘要: A rear wheel steering control system which determines a target rear wheel steering angle in accordance with a steering angle of front wheels of the vehicle and steers the rear wheels so that the rear wheel steering angle is maintained equal to the target rear wheel steering angle, and is arranged not to decrease the difference between the target angle and the actual rear wheel steering angle immediately to zero, but to decrease the difference gradually in accordance with a distance traveled by the vehicle, in order to prevent the rear wheels from being steered too much in a direction opposite to a steered direction of the front wheels especially when the vehicle speed is low, and thereby prevent the rear of the vehicle from bumping against an object lying alongside the vehicle.

    摘要: A vehicle steering control system for steering both front and rear wheels is so arranged that a transfer function between a driver's steering input and a front wheel steering angle, and a transfer function between the steering input and a rear wheel steering angle are differentiated from each other so as to obtain an optimum cornering characteristic of the vehicle. The system has a steering input sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, means for determining the transfer function for the front wheels from a steering frequency and a vehicle speed, means for determining the transfer function of the rear wheels, a front wheel actuator for steering the front wheels, and a rear wheel actuator for steering the rear wheels. The means for determining the transfer function of the rear wheels may be an electronic circuit, or a hydraulic fluid flow restrictor such as an orifice, or a mechanical gearing.

    摘要: A method of controlling an automotive vehicle is disclosed whereby a steering characteristic of the vehicle is automatically adjustable to a feature of the driver's steering the vehicle. The feature of the driver's steering the vehicle is detected in terms of a driver's technique or habit in manipulating a steering wheel or a motion characteristic of the vehicle such as a yaw rate or a lateral acceleration resulting from a driver's manipulating the steering wheel. A pair of steerable road wheels, such as a pair of front road wheels, are steered through an angle which is proportioned to an angle through which the steering wheel is manually turned at a ratio which is variable with variation in the feature of the driver's steering the vehicle.

    摘要: An automatic vehicle height-adjusting system is applied to a vehicle including a sprung mass and an unsprung mass in contact with a road surface, the sprung mass being supported on the unsprung mass via a spring or the like. The system includes a sensor, which senses the distance between the sprung mass and the road surface and generates a distance signal indicative thereof. In response to the distance signal, a first discriminator or comparator determines whether or not the distance is less than a first predetermined value, and generates a first comparison signal indicative thereof. In response to the distance signal, a second discriminator or comparator determines whether or not the distance is greater than a second predetermined value, and generates a second comparison signal indicative thereof. The second predetermined value is chosen to be greater than the first predetermined value. In response to the first and second comparison signals, a control mechanism increases the height of the sprung mass with respect to the unsprung mass when the distance is less than the first predetermined value, and decreases the height of the sprung mass with respect to the unsprung mass when the distance is greater than the second predetermined value.

    摘要: A suspension control system can precisely control the damping characteristics of vehicular suspension for successfully and satisfactorily providing anti-dive and anti-rebound feature. The suspension control system is adapted to detect vehicle deceleration on the basis of a variation of a vehicle speed and to compare the vehicle speed with a predetermined vehicle speed criteria across which damping characteristics of the vehicular suspension vary between a harder suspension mode and a softer suspension mode. The vehicle speed criteria is variable depending upon vehicle deceleration so that the criteria becomes higher when the magnitude of deceleration is greater than a predetermined level. By hardening the suspension at an earlier timing during relatively abrupt deceleration of the vehicle, the magnitude of nose dive is reduced and the magnitude of rebounding motion after nose-dive can be reduced. This assures riding comfort by reducing the magnitude of pitching behavior of the vehicle front end. On the other hand, by providing later timing for hardening the suspension while deceleration of the vehicle is relatively low, softer damping characteristics can be maintained for a longer period to assure riding comfort by successfully absorbing bounding and rebounding shock from the road surface.
