Patent number: 11794807Abstract: The steering control apparatus determines whether or not a deviation degree of a current traveling route of a vehicle with respect to a target traveling route is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold, when steering control is switched from manual steering control to automatic steering control. In the automatic steering control, a command steering angle is calculated so that a difference between a real traveling route of the vehicle and the target traveling route is eliminated. However, when the deviation degree is equal to or more than the predetermined threshold, the steering control apparatus recalculates the command steering angle used in the command steering angle tracking control based on a steering angle at the time of starting the automatic steering control and the command steering angle so that a real steering angle after switching to the automatic steering control changes gradually to the command steering angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ryo Irie, Yoji Kunihiro, Yutaka Aoki, Yoshio Kudo
