VEHICLE STEERING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle steering system comprising:
- a steering actuator (M) for imparting a steering force to a steering mechanism (1) of a vehicle;
an automatic steering controller (22) for performing an automatic steering control by controlling the steering actuator;
a driving state detector (11, 25) for detecting a driving state of the vehicle during the automatic steering control;
threshold value setting means (S1, S2, S5;
S11) for variably setting a threshold value (TH) for permitting an intervention in the automatic steering control based on the driving state; and
automatic steering intervention means (24, 29, S3, S4, S6, S7;
S12, S13) for intervening in the automatic steering control based on a threshold value set by the threshold value setting means.

Abstract
A vehicle steering system includes: a steering actuator that imparts a steering force to a steering mechanism of a vehicle; an automatic steering controller that performs an automatic steering control by controlling the steering actuator; a driving state detector that detects a driving state of the vehicle during the automatic steering control; a threshold value setting unit that variably sets a threshold value for permitting an intervention in the automatic steering control; and an automatic steering intervention unit that intervenes in the automatic steering control based on a threshold value set by the threshold value setting unit.
