Abstract
A system for controlling the steering angle for the rear wheels of a vehicle is provided. This system includes an angle sensor for sensing a steered angle, steered angular velocity, and steered angular acceleration, a vehicle speed sensor, and a steering angle controller. The steering angle controller is adapted for controlling steering of the rear wheels so as to vary the position where the side slip angle of the vehicle becomes zero with respect to the center of gravity based on the steered angle, steered angular velocity, steered angular acceleration, and vehicle speed to improve manoeuverability of the vehicle in cornering.
