20100204889 | ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM DESIGNED TO GENERATE TORQUE FOR ASSISTING DRIVER'S TURNING EFFORT - In an electric power steering system installed in a vehicle and designed to generate, by a motor, assist torque for assisting the driver's turning effort of the steering wheel, a self-aligning torque determiner determines a value of self aligning torque applied to the vehicle. A commanded-value generator determines a value of an assist ratio based on a predetermined relationship between a variable of the self aligning torque and a variable of the assist ratio. The assist ratio represents a ratio of share of torque by the motor for compensating the self aligning torque. The commanded-value generator generates, based on the self aligning torque and the value of the assist ratio, a commanded value for the assist torque. An assist torque determiner determines the assist torque based on the commanded value for the assist torque generated by the commanded-value generator. | 08-12-2010 |
