Abstract

A method of controlling a reaction force device which generates reaction force when a driver operates a steering wheel includes generating greater movement reaction force as a movement of a vehicle is greater, and performing correction such that movement reaction force is greater as a difference between a standard yaw rate and an actual yaw rate is larger.

Claims

1. A method of controlling a reaction force device which generates reaction force when a driver operates an operation unit, the method comprising:

generating greater movement reaction force as a movement of a vehicle is greater; and

correcting the movement reaction force such that the movement reaction force is greater as a difference between a standard yaw rate and an actual yaw rate is larger.

2. A method of controlling a reaction force device which generates reaction force when a driver operates an operation unit, the method comprising:

generating greater movement reaction force as a movement of a vehicle is greater; and

correcting the reaction force such that the movement reaction force is greater as steering torque relative to a steering angle is smaller.

3. A method of controlling a reaction force device which generates reaction force when a driver operates an operation unit, the method comprising:

generating greater movement reaction force as a movement of a vehicle is greater; and

correcting the movement reaction force such that movement reaction force is greater as a friction coefficient defined between a wheel and roadway surface is smaller.

4. A method of controlling a reaction force device which generates reaction force when a driver operates an operation unit, the method comprising:

generating greater movement reaction force as a movement of a vehicle is greater; and

correcting the movement reaction force such that movement reaction force is greater as a lateral acceleration relative to a steering angle is smaller.
