Abstract

Provided is a counter-steer condition detecting device which is suited to be used in combination with steering control systems based on the control of the magnitude of the effort required for the vehicle operator to steer the vehicle depending on the behavior of the vehicle. An over-steer condition may be detected by evaluating the signs of the current and previous values of the steering angle and the steering angular speed, and the magnitude of the steering angular speed when the steering angle passes a certain monitor level.
