摘要:
In a steering control system for controlling torque steer in a vehicle equipped with an electric power steering device and a torque split arrangement for individually controlling traction and/or braking force of right and left wheels, a difference in traction and/or braking force between the right and left wheels which may be produced by the torque split arrangement may give rise to torque steer depending on the geometry of the wheel suspension system of the vehicle. The control unit for the electric power steering device additionally receives an additional signal for providing an additional steering torque which is required for canceling the torque steer. Thus, the torque steer can be eliminated both economically and reliably without requiring to modify the wheel suspension system.
摘要:
In a steering system which produces a reactive steering assist torque which tends to cancel any unintended or undesired behavior of the vehicle, the control unit for the steering system is prevented from producing any reactive steering assist torque when the vehicle speed is zero so that no reactive steering assist torque may be produced to the discomfort of the vehicle even when the vehicle is being moved by external causes such as when being turned by a turntable or being transported by a car lift or a car carrier.
摘要:
In a steering system which produces a reactive steering assist torque which tends to cancel any unintended or undesired behavior of the vehicle, the relationship between the steering angle and the vehicle behavior such as the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration reverses in sense depending on the traveling direction of the vehicle. To prevent the control unit for the steering system from producing any reactive steering assist torque which could worsen the behavior of the vehicle when the vehicle is traveling rearward, the control unit either eliminates or reverses the sense of the reactive steering assist torque when the vehicle is traveling rearward.

An electric power steering device wherein mechanical friction is electrically provided. A steering torque value is detected by a steering torque sensor according to the operation of a steering wheel. An assist current value is calculated by an assist control section on the basis of the steering torque value. A target current value based on the assist current value is determined. For providing friction to the operation of the steering wheel, a friction control section and a friction torque value/current value conversion section generate a corrected steering torque value. A second corrected target current value is created by correcting a first corrected target current value by a friction current value. The corrected steering torque value is obtained by correcting the steering torque value by a friction torque value. The target current value is generated, resulting in a motor being subjected to driving control.

An electric steering system includes a steering torque measuring device for measuring a steering torque input into a steering system, a steering speed measuring device for measuring a steering speed of the steering system; a target current computing section for computing a target current based on the steering torque measured by the steering torque measuring device, and a control section for applying a steering power to the steering system by driving a motor according to the target current. When the measured steering speed is less than a predetermined speed value, the control section applies damping to the steering system based on the measured steering speed and when it is not the control section performs a control operation of adding a specified steering torque defined when the steering speed is equal to the predetermined speed value and an increment for the steering torque determined in accordance with the steering speed to each other, defining the sum of the addition as a target steering torque, and controlling the target current so that the measured steering torque coincides with the target steering torque.
