  • Publication number: 20230406405
    Abstract: A control device for a vehicle equipped with a steering system including a steering wheel (13), a rack (12) for steering the wheels (4) of the vehicle, and a redundant arrangement for transmitting a displacement of the steering wheel to the rack, wherein upon detecting a failure in the redundant arrangement, the control device sets an upper limit speed to a first value in a first stage, and changes the upper limit speed from the first value to a second value smaller than the first value in a progressive manner in a second stage that follows the first stage.

  • Patent number: 8463506
    Abstract: Provided is a rear wheel toe angle control system that can prevent the impairment of the tracking performance of the electric actuator and enable the rear wheel toe angle control system to ensure the stability of the vehicle even when the electric actuator for steering the rear wheel according to the operating condition of the vehicle is subjected to an axial force. An ECU (12) serving as a rear wheel toe angle control unit for variably controlling the rear wheel toe angle (?r) of the motor vehicle (V) by using an electric actuator (11) is provided with a duty ratio correcting unit (25) that corrects the target duty ratio (Dtgt) for achieving the target rear wheel toe angle (?rtgt) according to the load condition of the electric actuator (11) that depends on the lateral acceleration (Gy) of the motor vehicle (V).
