STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B62D6/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: taxi control device comprises: a steering reaction force control means that specifies the reaction force characteristic when steering on coordinates whose axes of coordinates represent the stabilising torque and the reaction force during taxiing, so that the stabilising torque increases as the torque increases the reaction force during taxiing, and applies the reaction force when taxiing to the steering module based on the reaction force characteristic during taxiing; bias calculation tool that biases the reaction force characteristic when steering at coordinates greater in a direction in which the absolute value of the reaction force during taxiing increases as the transverse position of the vehicle in question becomes closer to the signal line of road marking; means for detecting the operation of turning on the turn signal to detect the operation of turning on the turn signal; and a bias suppression means that suppresses the shift in the response force characteristic during taxiing when the turn signal activation operation starts and stops suppressing the shift of the reaction force characteristic during taxiing when the turn signal turn-on operation is completed; wherein: the bias suppression means sets the absolute value of the increase gradient upon stopping the suppression of the bias smaller than the absolute value of the reduction gradient when the bias is suppressed. The steering control devices (variants) are also proposed.

EFFECT: reduction of discomfort when control value is suppressed.
