Title:
車両用走行支援装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4294401
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A steering mechanism (1) is configured as a steering mechanism which allows an arbitrary relationship to be set between a steering mechanism unit (2) through which steering of a driver is input, and a turning mechanism unit (3) for turning wheels (5) to be turned, those units (2, 3) being controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU, 30) on a steer-by-wire basis. When an alarm control to wake up the driver is performed according to a determination (31) indicating a reduction of the wakefulness of the driver, the ECU (30) suspends the steer-by-wire control to control the turning mechanism unit (3) independently of the steering mechanism unit (2). As a result, even when an improper steering input is provided by the driver who is at a low level of wakefulness, it is possible to prevent such mis-steering from being reflected in driving.
