Abstract: The present disclosure provides a steering control method and system for rear-wheel steering that improves driving stability and yaw responsiveness of a vehicle by controlling rear wheels on the basis of a driving state of a vehicle. The method and system receives a vehicle speed and a front-wheel turning angle and calculates a rear-wheel same/inverse-phase control amount; estimates tire slip angles when the vehicle is driven such that the rear wheels are controlled with the same phase; calculates a final rear-wheel turn control value by reflecting a control weight proportioned to the tire slip angle estimation value to the rear-wheel same-phase control amount; and turns the rear wheels on the basis of the final rear-wheel turn control value.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for recognizing a surrounding vehicle. The system for recognizing a surrounding vehicle includes a vehicle information collecting unit configured to collect location information of an own vehicle and location information of a surrounding vehicle, a surrounding vehicle recognizing unit configured to generate a lane based on the location information of the own vehicle and the location information of the surrounding vehicle collected by the vehicle information collecting unit and to recognize a location of the surrounding vehicle based on the generated lane, and a situation notifying unit configured to determine a road situation based on the surrounding vehicle recognized by the surrounding vehicle recognizing unit.

Abstract: A method of estimating a mass of a vehicle. If a yaw rate is smaller than a reference value, a straight direction model algorithm is applied to obtain an estimated mass. If a measured speed and a measured steering angle are larger than reference values, a lateral direction model algorithm is applied to obtain another estimated mass. If a measured vertical acceleration is larger than a reference value, a vertical direction model algorithm is applied to obtain yet another estimated mass. If each of the estimated masses is in an allowable range, and is constant for a given time period, the masses are applied to a recursive least square method, thereby estimating the mass of the vehicle.
