Abstract
A position detection device includes a first positional sensor mounted on a reference portion, and a second positional sensor mounted on a detection target that is movable relative to the reference portion. A controller calculates a position of the detection target based on a detection value of the first positional sensor and a detection value of the second positional sensor. The position detection device may be applied to a steer-by-wire system for a vehicle. The reference portion may be a fixed portion of the vehicle, and the detection target may be a steering wheel or a vehicle wheel of the vehicle. The controller may calculate a steering angle of the steering wheel or a turning angle of the vehicle wheel as the position of the detection target.
