    Abstract: A rear wheel steering system includes a rack shaft, a neutral position locking apparatus that restricts the movement of the rack shaft in a rack axis direction, and a pin-driving device that drives a restriction pin. The neutral position locking apparatus has the restriction pin and a pin-receiving portion formed in the rack shaft. The restriction pin has a first pin-sidewall portion slanted with respect to a pin axis and a second pin-sidewall portion parallel to the pin axis. The pin-receiving portion has a first shaft-sidewall portion that contacts the first pin-sidewall portion when the position of the rack shaft in the rack axis direction is at a neutral position, and a second shaft-sidewall portion that contacts the second pin-sidewall portion when the position of the rack shaft in the rack axis direction is at a restriction position different from the neutral position.

    Abstract: A steering control device is configured to calculate a reaction force command value to reflect a reaction force component calculated based on an operation amount of an operating lever, and generate a control signal based on the reaction force command value. The steering control device is configured to execute a keeping state determination process for determining whether a keeping condition for the operation amount is satisfied, and a calculation mode switching process for switching a calculation mode of the reaction force command value to a keeping state calculation mode when the keeping condition is satisfied. The keeping state calculation mode is configured such that a dead band that is a range in which the reaction force component does not change with respect to the operation amount is larger than a dead band in a normal state calculation mode.

    Abstract: In a vehicular steering system, a steering wheel (steering member) operated for steering and a steering operation mechanism are not mechanically coupled together, and the steering operation mechanism is driven by a steering operation motor. The vehicular steering system includes a reaction force motor that applies a reaction force to the steering member, and a reaction force motor control unit that controls the reaction force motor. The reaction force motor control unit includes a torque limiter that limits a current flowing through the reaction force motor to a predetermined value or smaller during automatic operation.

    Abstract: A steering control device includes an emergency determination unit configured to determine whether or not an emergency exists in which an emergency avoidance operation is to be performed, and a work adjustment unit configured to adjust work of a driver required to steer steered wheels. The work adjustment unit is configured to execute emergency adjustment processing for adjusting the work in accordance with a determination result of whether or not an emergency exists. The emergency adjustment processing includes reduction processing for reducing the work in an initial stage after the emergency determination unit determines that an emergency exists, as compared in a case in which determination is not made that an emergency exists.

    Abstract: A steering system is configured such that electric power is supplied to a steering actuator and a turning actuator from a first power supply when a power state of a vehicle is an on state and supply of the electric power from the first power supply is cut off when the power state is an off state. The steering system includes a rotation curbing unit configured to operate such that rotation of the steering wheel is curbed in at least a part of a first power-off period from when the power state becomes an off state until when the power state becomes the on state next, as an operating period, and a second power supply configured to supply, to the rotation curbing unit, the electric power required for operation of the rotation curbing unit in the operating period, the second power supply being different from the first power supply.

    Abstract: In a steering assist device, a correction gain setting unit sets correction gain to one if it determines that that the sign of a lateral deviation change rate is different from that of a second derivative value of a lateral deviation. The correction gain setting unit sets the correction gain to a predetermined value that is larger than one, if it determines that that the sign of the lateral deviation change rate is the same as that of the second derivative value of the lateral deviation.A gain multiplication unit corrects a lane keep assist current value calculated by a lane keep assist current value calculation unit by multiplying the lane keep assist current value by the correction gain set by the correction gain setting unit.

    Abstract: A left steering ECU includes switching control unit that switches control mode between a first control mode and a second control mode. The first control mode is mode in which the left steering ECU controls left steering motor so that the steered angle of a left steered wheel becomes equal to a left target steered angle received from a higher-level control device. The second control mode is a mode in which the left steering ECU controls the left steering motor by torque feedback control so that the steered angle of the left steered wheel becomes equal to an angle corresponding to a neutral position of the left steered wheel. The switching control unit normally sets the control mode to the first control mode. The switching control unit switches the control mode to the second control mode if abnormal communication occurs between the higher-level control device and the left steering ECU.
