Vehicle steering system
First Claim
1. A vehicle steering system comprising:
- a sensor that detects a vibration of a vehicle wheel of a vehicle; and
a control device including a frequency analysis unit that resolves the vibration of the vehicle wheel detected by the sensor into a power spectrum at each predetermined frequency,wherein the control device executes compensation assist control that suppresses at least one of a deflection of the vehicle and a vibration of a steering component of the vehicle that are caused by a puncture or a burst of the vehicle wheel, based on the vibration of the vehicle wheel that occurs in a specific frequency domain to distinguish between the vibration of the vehicle wheel caused by surface kickback and the vibration of the vehicle wheel caused by the puncture or burst of the vehicle wheel, the specific frequency domain being formed by a frequency range between a normal-wheel frequency calculated based on a radius of the vehicle wheel when the vehicle wheel is normal and a traveling speed of the vehicle, and an abnormal-wheel frequency calculated based on a radius of the vehicle wheel when the vehicle wheel is punctured or burst and the traveling speed.

Abstract
A vehicle steering system includes an axial force sensor that detects a vibration of a vehicle wheel; and a control device including an FFT analysis unit that resolves the vibration of the vehicle wheel into a power spectrum. The control device executes compensation assist control that suppresses one of a deflection of the vehicle and a vibration of a steering component that are caused by a puncture or a burst of the vehicle wheel, based on the vibration calculated based on a radius of the vehicle wheel when the vehicle wheel is normal and a vehicle speed and an abnormal-wheel frequency calculated based on a radius of the vehicle wheel when the vehicle wheel is punctured or burst and the vehicle speed.
