Abstract
Disclosed is a corner module apparatus for a vehicle. The corner module apparatus includes processors configured to obtain a steering angle, obtain a lever ratio indicating whether a front wheel and a rear wheel of a bicycle model defined with respect to a vehicle are inphase or reverse-phased and indicating a steering angle ratio. The corner module apparatus also includes a controller configured to calculate a front wheel heading angle of the bicycle model from the steering angle, calculate a rear wheel heading angle of the bicycle model based on the calculated front wheel heading angle and the lever ratio, calculate first to fourth target angles of a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a left rear wheel, and a right rear wheel of the vehicle by expanding the bicycle model to a four-wheel vehicle model, and independently control steering of each of the four wheels.
