    Abstract: A power steering device includes a steering mechanism, an electric motor for applying a steering assist force to the steering mechanism, and a first motor rotational position sensor for sensing as an actual axis phase a rotational position of a rotor of the electric motor. A control device is configured to: receive input of a signal of first actual axis phase outputted from the first motor rotational position sensor; receive input of a signal of value of electric current flowing through the electric motor; estimate as a control phase a phase of an induced voltage occurring in the electric motor, based on the signal of value of electric current; and determine whether or not the first motor rotational position sensor is abnormal, based on a difference between the first actual axis phase and the control phase.

    Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus capable of rapidly releasing an automatic steering mode and switching to a manual steering mode in which steering is performed by a driver when there is a steering input from a driver in a steering wheel, so that it is possible to prevent disturbance in a behavior of a vehicle caused by an excessive manipulation of the driver who memorizes strangeness. In the vehicle steering apparatus, a state that a driver holds the input unit of the steering input means is detected on the basis of a characteristic change caused by an increase of a mass or inertial moment in the input unit of the steering input means or a part subordinate thereto. In addition, a switching operation between the automatic steering mode and the manual steering mode is performed on the basis of a result of the holding detection.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a power steering device having at least two redundant steering torque sensor units TS1 and TS2, at least two redundant steering angel sensor units AS1 and AS2, at least two redundant motor position sensor units 61 and 62 and a control unit configured to: in a normal state, perform steering assist control based on a steering torque detection signal of one of the steering torque sensor units TS1 and TS2, a steering angle detection signal of one of the steering angle sensor units AS1 and AS2 and a motor position detection signal of one of the motor position sensor units 61 and 62; perform redundant monitoring on the steering torque sensor units TS1 and TS2, the steering angel sensor units AS1 and AS2 and the motor position sensor units 61 and 62; and, upon detection of an abnormality in any sensor output signal by the redundant monitoring, switch the abnormal signal to an alternative signal. It is possible by this control process to preserve the steering assist function even in the occurrence of the abnormality in the sensor output signal.

    Abstract: An in-vehicle device controller has at least two redundant operating condition detection units. Under normal circumstances, the controller performs actuator drive control based on an operating condition detection signal of one of the operating condition detection units. Upon detection of an abnormality in the signal transmission state, data state or operating status of one of the at least two operating condition detection units, the controller performs actuator drive control based on an operating condition detection signal of another one of the at least two operating condition detection units in which no abnormality is present. By this control, the actuator function is preserved even in the event of the abnormality in the operating condition detection unit or operating condition detection signal.
