Steering control device
10807637 · 2020-10-20 · ·

A control device controls a reaction force motor that generates a steering reaction force to be applied to a steering mechanism of a vehicle, based on a steering reaction force command value calculated according to a steering state. An axial force distribution calculation circuit of the control device calculates a mixed axial force by summing values obtained by multiplying an ideal axial force and estimated axial forces by individually set distribution rates. The axial force distribution calculation circuit calculates a final axial force to be reflected in the steering reaction force command value, by summing values obtained by multiplying the ideal axial force and the mixed axial force by individually set distribution rates. The axial force distribution calculation circuit sets the distribution rates of the ideal axial force and the mixed axial force, based on a distribution command generated by the host control device when intervening in steering control.

Driving support device

The driving support ECU performs a steering control for changing a steering angle in such a manner that an own vehicle travels along a target path. When a state in which holding state information does not satisfy a first condition continues for a first time threshold or more, the ECU starts a first alert and continues the steering control. The holding state information includes information indicative of a steering torque and represents a holding state of a steering handle by a driver. When a state in which the holding state information does not satisfy a second condition for a second time threshold or more after the first alert is started, the ECU starts a deceleration control. The second condition is a condition satisfied when the holding state information indicates that the driver holds the steering handle more firmly than when the holding state information satisfies the first condition.
