Steering system for motor vehicle steers steerable wheels towards lower speed wheel if revolution rate assessment arrangement assesses left/right speed difference as above threshold

摘要

The system has brake actuation detection, a revolution rate comparison arrangement for assessing whether a left or right wheel is turning faster and a revolution rate assessment arrangement for determining whether a difference between inner and outer wheel speeds exceeds a threshold. A steering control arrangement steers the steerable wheels towards the lower speed wheel if the revolution rate difference exceeds the threshold. The system has a brake actuation detection arrangement, a revolution rate comparison arrangement for assessing whether a left or right vehicle wheel is turning faster and a revolution rate assessment arrangement for determining whether a difference between inner and outer wheel speeds exceeds a threshold. A steering control arrangement controls a steering mechanism based on the comparison result in response to detection of brake mechanism actuation so that the steerable wheels are steered towards the wheel with the lower speed, assuming that the revolution rate assessment arrangement assesses the difference as above the threshold.
