STEERING CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278827 titled 'STEERING CONTROL APPARATUS
The abstract describes a steering control apparatus that includes an environment sensor for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle and a controller for managing the turning of both front and rear wheels. The controller calculates a total steering angle needed for the vehicle to follow a target path based on the sensor data, adjusts the front wheel based on a front wheel target steering angle, and adjusts the rear wheel based on a rear wheel target steering angle derived from the total steering angle.
- The apparatus includes an environment sensor for detecting the vehicle's surroundings.
- The controller calculates a total steering angle required for the vehicle to travel along a target path.
- The front wheel is turned based on a front wheel target steering angle.
- The rear wheel is turned based on a rear wheel target steering angle, which is calculated by subtracting the front wheel target steering angle from the total steering angle.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Advanced driver assistance systems - Vehicle safety technology
Problems Solved: - Enhancing vehicle maneuverability - Improving steering control in various driving conditions
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Enhanced driving experience - Better control over vehicle trajectory

Original Abstract Submitted
a steering control apparatus comprises an environment sensor for detecting a condition around a vehicle; and a controller for controlling turning of a front wheel and turning of a rear wheel, wherein the controller is configured to: calculate a total steering angle which is a steering angle required for causing the vehicle to travel along a target path, based on at least a detection result of the environment sensor; turn the front wheel based on a front wheel target steering angle; and turn the rear wheel based on a rear wheel target steering angle that is a subtraction value obtained by subtracting the front wheel target steering angle from the total steering angle.
