Abstract

A driving assistance system includes: a first control unit configured to output an output amount related to a required amount; and a second control unit configured to calculate a difference amount between the output amount output and an actually measured amount of an actuator, and control the actuator based on the difference amount and a torque map, in which in assist control (second driving assistance control), the first control unit calculates a difference amount between a second required amount and the actually measured amount, acquires a division amount by dividing the difference amount by a predetermined value, and outputs a total amount of the division amount and the actually measured amount as the output amount, and the second control unit calculates a difference amount between the total amount and the actually measured amount, and controls the actuator based on the difference amount and a second torque map.

Claims (16)

1. A driving assistance system comprising:

a first control unit configured to output an output amount related to a required amount; and

a second control unit configured to calculate a difference amount between the output amount output from the first control unit and an actually measured amount of an actuator, and control the actuator based on the difference amount and a torque map,

wherein the driving assistance system is capable of selectively executing at least one of a first driving assistance control that performs a first driving assistance and a second driving assistance control that performs a second driving assistance different from the first driving assistance,

in the first driving assistance control,

the first control unit outputs a first required amount as the output amount, and

the second control unit calculates a difference amount between the first required amount and the actually measured amount, and controls the actuator based on the difference amount and a first torque map, and

in the second driving assistance control,

the first control unit calculates a difference amount between a second required amount and the actually measured amount, acquires a division amount by dividing the difference amount by a predetermined value, and outputs a total amount of the division amount and the actually measured amount as the output amount, and

the second control unit calculates a difference amount between the total amount and the actually measured amount, and controls the actuator based on the difference amount and a second torque map.

2. The driving assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the second torque map is a torque map obtained by integrating a reference second torque map with the predetermined value, the reference second torque map associating a torque with the difference amount between the second required amount and the actually measured amount.

3. The driving assistance system according to claim 2 , wherein

the required amount is a required steering angle amount related to a steering angle amount of a vehicle,

the actually measured amount is an actually measured steering angle amount that is an actually measured steering angle amount of the vehicle,

the first driving assistance control is automatic driving control, and

the second driving assistance control is assist control.
