Abstract
The present invention provides a vehicle control device and method capable of ensuring steering accuracy. In a vehicle provided with a left-right pair of steered wheels for which the braking/driving forces can each be controlled, and a steering force generation device that generates steering force for the steered wheels and controls the steering angle of the steered wheels, this vehicle control device and method control the steering force and the steering reaction force from the steering force generation device by controlling the braking/driving force of each of the steered wheels on the basis of the lateral force acting on the steered wheels.
Claims12
A vehicle control device that controls a vehicle, the vehicle comprising:
- a left-right pair of steered wheels of which braking/driving forces can be controlled for each of left and right;
- and a steering force generation device that generates a steering force for the steered wheels and controls a steering angle of the steered wheels,
- wherein the vehicle control device controls the steering force or steering reaction force of the steering force generation device by controlling the braking/driving forces for each of the steered wheels on the basis of a lateral force acting on the steered wheels.
A vehicle control method for controlling a vehicle, the vehicle comprising:
- a left-right pair of steered wheels of which braking/driving forces can be controlled for each of left and right;
- and a steering force generation device that generates a steering force for the steered wheels and controls a steering angle of the steered wheels, wherein the steering force or a steering reaction force of the steering force generation device is controlled by controlling the braking/driving forces for each of the steered wheels on the basis of a lateral force acting on the steered wheels.
