VEHICULAR STEERING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accomplish a steering reaction force control mechanism capable of suitably setting steering reaction force according to a driver and to contribute to reduction of steering burden or accurate steering angle control. SOLUTION: A control unit 11 stores a reference table in which a relationship of a physique of the driver and a mechanical impedance of a person regarding steering operation is described. The control unit 11 detects the physique of the driver and presumes the mechanical impedance corresponding to the detected physique using the reference table. Further, it controls the steering reaction force of steering based on the presumed mechanical impedance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
