  • Publication number: 20160144890
    Abstract: A steering control method for a steer-by-wire (SBW) system includes receiving an output value reflecting a current steering wheel state and a current driving state of a vehicle. A current Ackerman effect value of the vehicle is determined according to the output value. If the current Ackerman effect value is different from an optimum Ackerman effect value which is determined according to the output value, toe angles of right and left wheels are changed and controlled such that the current Ackerman effect value becomes the optimum Ackerman effect value.

  • Patent number: 9266560
    Abstract: An electric actuator-integrated electric power steering system may include an integrated motor which provides rotational force, a hydraulic pump connected to one end of the integrated motor and supplied with the rotational force from the integrated motor to pump working fluid that is used to transmit steering force, and an electric actuator connected to the other end of the integrated motor via a power controlling means. The electric actuator may operate when the rotational force is transmitted to the electric actuator and whether the rotational force from the integrated motor is transmitted to or cut off from the electric actuator may depend on an operation of the power controlling means.

  • Publication number: 20140074355
    Abstract: A hybrid steering system and a method for controlling the same. A motor driving power steering (MDPS) module at the rear end of a steering wheel includes a first torsion bar connected to a steering wheel shaft, a first torque sensor for measuring the torque of the first torsion bar, and an MDPS motor for applying the torque to the steering wheel shaft. An electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) module at the rear end of the MDPS module includes a second torsion bar connected to the steering wheel shaft and a hydraulic mechanism for applying hydraulic steering power. A control unit controls both the torque of the MDPS motor and the steering power of the hydraulic mechanism depending on the speed or steering angle of a vehicle so that both powers from the MDPS motor and the hydraulic mechanism can be applied to the steering wheel shaft.

  • Patent number: 7213678
    Abstract: The present invention provides a variable steering gear ratio apparatus adapted to adjust the steering gear ratio based on the vehicle speed and steering angle, thereby facilitating steering manipulation by applying a small steering gear ratio when the vehicle comes to a parked state, the vehicle speed is low, or the steering angle is large. By applying a large steering gear ratio when the vehicle speed is high or the steering angle is small, the steering stability of the vehicle improves.
