A failure detection apparatus and method of the MDPS may include a configuration that determines a failure of the MDPS in accordance with a vehicle speed, a steering torque, steering angle, a motor torque, and an estimated yaw rate, and when it is determined that the MDPS breaks down, additionally determines the type of failure.

Failure detection apparatus of motor drive power system and method of the same

Disclosed are a control system and a control method for fail safety of a motor driven power steering (MDPS). The system may include a straight motion/turning determination module for determining whether a vehicle is in a straight motion or turning based on a steering angle of a steering wheel, a steering torque of the steering wheel and a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a fail determination module for determining whether an MDPS fail occurs based on a steering torque of a driver and a motor torque of the MDPS if the vehicle is in the straight motion, a fail type determination module for determining a type of the MDPS fail using a yaw rate change rate if the MDPS fail occurs, and a yaw rate change rate detection module for inputting the yaw rate change rate to the fail type determination module.

Control system and control method for fail safety of MDPS

A method of detecting a deviation of a travel path of a vehicle, may include a first step of determining whether a steering torque of a driver and a motor torque of a motor driven power steering apparatus have different directions, a second step of determining whether the vehicle travels at a predetermined speed or higher, a third step of determining whether the motor torque has a predetermined magnitude or larger, and a fourth step of determining whether a change rate of a yaw rate may be a predetermined value or less.

Method of detecting deviation of travel path of a vehicle

An apparatus for controlling a rear wheel steering includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle speed, a steering angle, yaw rate, and a lateral acceleration of a vehicle; a target yaw rate calculator configured to determine a target yaw rate from information detected by the sensor; a side slip angle estimator configured to estimate a side slip angle from information detected by the sensor; and a rear wheel steering angle control amount calculator configured to determine a rear wheel steering angle control amount by using the yaw rate information detected by the sensor, the target yaw rate calculated by the target yaw rate calculator, and the side slip angle estimated by the side slip angle estimator. The determined rear wheel steering angle control amount is implemented to control the vehicle yaw rate to follow the target yaw rate and the side slip angle to follow 0.
