Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the traveling safety by installing a means for detecting the nonstraight traveling state and a means for confirming the drivers intention of straight traveling and correcting the attitude of the car body to the straight advance side by the control value corresponding to the signal of the nonstraight traveling detection means, thus automatically obtaining the straight traveling performance. CONSTITUTION:A steering angle sensor 4 detects that the car is in nonstraight advance traveling state and generates a detection signal l4. When the intention of a driver having a desire of straight traveling is confirmed by a direction indicator 5, a detection signal l2 is generated. When the both detection signals l1 and l2 are generated, the control value (m) corresponding to the detection signal l4 is outputted by a computer 14 as control value setting means, and a steering means 6 operates on the basis of the control value (m), and the attitude of the car body is corrected to the straight advance side. Therefore, correction to the straight advance traveling in the case when one-sie flow of car is generated can be carried out automatically.

(Prior Art and its Problems) An example of a device for controlling the posture of a vehicle during turning is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-92260. This is a device that steers the four wheels of a vehicle. For example, when the front wheel steering force increases when the vehicle turns, the rear wheels are also strongly steered in response, and the front and rear wheels are also steered depending on driving conditions such as vehicle speed. This changes the steering angle ratio, thereby improving steering stability when the vehicle turns.
