  • Publication number: 20230234637
    Abstract: A steering system is provided with a control unit (15) configured to determine a target steered angle (?t) according to a steering angle (?) of a steering shaft (18) which is fitted with a steering wheel (19) and drive a steering actuator so as to cause the steered angle (?) to coincide with the target steered angle, and to determine a target reaction force (Tt) according to a steered state of the wheels and drive a reaction force actuator (13) so as to cause the reaction force to coincide with the target reaction force. The control unit is configured to correct an output of the steering angle sensor in such a manner that a geometric steering center of the steering wheel coincides with a mechanical steering center of the steering shaft upon receiving a prescribed input (S) from a manual input switch (37).

  • Publication number: 20230227097
    Abstract: In a steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle, a control unit (16) controls an operation of a steering actuator to cause the steered angle of wheels to be in a prescribed relationship to a steering angle, and an operation of the reaction force actuator (15) including a pair of reaction force motors (14) to cause the reaction force to be a value (Tt) corresponding to a steered state of the wheels, wherein the control unit is provided with a failure detection unit (36) configured to detect failures of the reaction force motors, and upon detecting a failure of one of the reaction force motors, progressively reduce an output (Tta) of the other reaction motor to a prescribed limit value (TL).

  • Publication number: 20230091186
    Abstract: To prevent a driver from feeling uncomfortable when the driver touches a steering member in a state where a driving source is stopped, a vehicle steering system (1) is provided in a vehicle (2) that travels by a driving force generated by a driving source (51). The vehicle steering system (1) includes; a steering member (10) configured to accept a steering operation; and a reaction force actuator (13) configured to apply a reaction force to the steering member (10) in response to the steering operation. In a state where the driving source (51) is stopped, the reaction force actuator (13) is configured to apply the reaction force to the steering member (10) based on a stopped time position that is a position of the steering member (10) at a time when the driving source (51) is stopped.
