Abstract
A system for controlling a steering angle for the rear wheels of a vehicle is provided. This system includes generally a rotational speed sensor for detecting rotational speeds of front and rear wheels to provide a difference in rotational speeds between the front and the rear wheels, an angle sensor for sensing a steered angle of a steering wheel, a steering controller for determining a rear wheel target steering angle, and an actuator for steering the rear wheels by the rear wheel target steering angle. The steering controller calculates a component of a difference in rotational speeds between the front and rear wheels caused by a difference in turning tracks therebetween and compensates for this component by the difference derived by the rotational speed sensor to provide a correction value for the rotational speeds between the front and rear wheels caused by acceleration during turning as a correction for a rear wheel steering angle. The steering controller determines the rear wheel target steering angle based on the correction.
