Abstract
A reaction control system controls a reactive force to be applied to an operating device operated by a driver of a vehicle. The system includes a device for measuring a steering speed of steering of the operating device; a device for measuring a steering torque applied to the operating device; and a reactive force correcting device for correcting the reactive force in a manner such that the corrected reactive force increases at least when the measured steering speed is zero, and that the higher the measured steering torque, the higher the corrected reactive force is. The reactive force correcting device may correct the reactive force in a manner such that the higher a speed of the vehicle, the higher the corrected reactive force is. A non-effectivity range of the steering torque in which the corrected reactive force is not influenced by the steering torque may be defined.
