Steering control system for wheeled vehicle
The patent describes a steering control system for a controlled vehicle having a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, comprising: steering input sensing means for sensing a steering input quantity representing a driver's steering command of the controlled vehicle and determining a sensed value of the steering input quantity; vehicle speed means for sensing a vehicle speed of the controlled vehicle and determining speed; target determining means connected with the steering input and vehicle speed sensing means for determining a desired value of at least one dynamic variable corresponding to a response to sensed values of the steering input quantity and the vehicle speed by solving a group of equations of vehicle motion characteristics for the desired value of at least one dynamic variable using a set of vehicle parameters representative of the desired vehicle.
