Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling vehicle steering. The apparatus for controlling vehicle steering includes: a reference lateral acceleration extractor configured to extract reference lateral acceleration based on a vehicle speed and a steering angle; a damping application condition determiner configured to determine whether a damping application condition is met based on the reference lateral acceleration and actual lateral acceleration; and a damping current controller configured to, when it is determined that the damping application condition is met, control the damping current applied to an EPS motor.

An apparatus for controlling vehicle steering, the apparatus comprising:
- a reference lateral acceleration extractor configured to extract a reference lateral acceleration based on a vehicle speed and a steering angle;
- a damping application condition determiner configured to determine whether a damping application condition is met based on the reference lateral acceleration and actual lateral acceleration;
- and
- a damping current controller configured to, when it is determined that the damping application condition is met, control a damping current applied to an EPS motor.
A method of controlling vehicle steering, the method comprising:
- a reference lateral acceleration extraction step of extracting reference lateral acceleration based on a vehicle speed and a steering angle;
- a damping application condition determination step of determining whether a damping application condition is met on the basis of the reference lateral acceleration and actual lateral acceleration;
- and
- a damping current control step of controlling damping current applied to an EPS motor when it is determined that the damping application condition is met.
