STEERING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199116 titled 'STEERING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

The abstract describes a steering system for a vehicle that includes an operation member controlled by a driver, a front-wheel steering device connected to the operation member to steer the front wheel, a rear-wheel steering device to independently steer the rear wheel, and a controller to manage both steering devices. The controller applies a steering force to the front wheel, including a driving support force to keep the vehicle on a target travel line, based on the driver's input and the rear wheel's steering angle.

  • Operation member controlled by the driver
  • Front-wheel steering device for steering the front wheel
  • Rear-wheel steering device for independent rear wheel steering
  • Controller to manage both front and rear wheel steering
  • Application of steering force to the front wheel, including a driving support force
  • Determination of driving support force based on driver input and rear wheel steering angle

Potential Applications: - Enhanced vehicle maneuverability - Improved stability and control while driving - Increased safety on the road

Problems Solved: - Enhancing driver control over the vehicle - Improving steering precision and responsiveness - Optimizing vehicle stability and handling

Benefits: - Enhanced driving experience - Increased safety on the road - Improved vehicle performance and maneuverability

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Steering System for Enhanced Control and Safety This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for the development of advanced steering systems in vehicles, catering to both consumer and commercial markets. The innovation can improve vehicle handling, safety, and overall driving experience, making it an attractive feature for various types of vehicles.

Questions about the Advanced Vehicle Steering System: 1. How does the driving support force contribute to the vehicle's stability and control? The driving support force helps the vehicle stay on the target travel line, enhancing stability and control while driving. 2. What are the potential implications of integrating rear-wheel steering into vehicles? Integrating rear-wheel steering can improve maneuverability, cornering performance, and overall driving dynamics.


Original Abstract Submitted

a steering system for a vehicle includes: an operation member operable by a driver; a front-wheel steering device to which the operation member is connected to enable a front wheel to be steered by a steering amount; a rear-wheel steering device configured to steer a rear wheel independently of the front wheel; and a controller configured to control the front-wheel and rear-wheel steering devices. the controller executes a front-wheel steering force application control to apply, to the front wheel, a steering force including, as a component thereof, a driving support force that causes the vehicle to travel along a target travel line. the controller determines, in the front-wheel steering force application control, the driving support force based on a target operation amount that is the operation amount of the operation member to cause the vehicle to travel along the target travel line and a steering amount of the rear wheel.
