A device is mounted with a capability for angular movement in a mounting unit, the movement being detected by an element that is able to send electrical signals within a processing unit. The element consist of a single 2D Hall-effect sensor able to measure the rotations of the magnetic field, the sensor being mounted in close proximity to a dual magnet to measure two rotations of the lever in two planes, each corresponding to the P, R, N, D and M+, M and M positions.

An actuator applies a reaction force to a pedal lever to be depressed by a human driver. The actuator includes an electric motor, a speed reducer mechanism, an actuator lever and an angle detector device. The speed reducer mechanism includes: a motor gear that rotates integrally with the electric motor; an output gear that rotate integrally with an output shaft; and an intermediate gear installed between the motor gear and the output gear. The actuator lever is driven by the output shaft and contacts the pedal lever. The angle detector device detects a rotational angle of the intermediate gear. The intermediate gear has: a large gear portion, which meshes with the motor gear; and a small gear portion, which meshes with the output gear. The small gear portion is integrally formed in one-piece with the large gear portion.

The disclosure relates to a steering control device and method. According to the disclosure, a steering control device comprises a detachable dial including a permanent magnet, a hall sensor detecting a position of a magnet provided in the dial, and a controller receiving manager authentication information, calculating a rotation angle of the dial based on a position of the permanent magnet received from the hall sensor when the manager authentication information is valid, and transmitting a control signal to a road wheel actuator (RWA) to move a tire to a position corresponding to the rotation angle.
