Abstract:
[Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide an electric power steering apparatus that achieves manual steering even if steering intervention is performed by a driver during automatic steering, ensures more safety when the driver steers urgently, and enables both assist control and steering angle control. [Means for solving the problem] An electric power steering apparatus comprises a steering angle control section that calculates a steering angle control current command value for steering angle control based on at least a steering angle command value and an actual steering angle, and a switch judging and gradual-change gain generating section that judges a steering state based on manual input judgment and performs switching of the steering state; the switch judging and gradual-change gain generating section comprises a manual input judging section that performs the manual input judgment by using a threshold to a steering torque; and the electric power steering apparatus calculates a current command value by using at least the steering angle control current command value.

Claim (Index 40):
The electric power steering apparatus according to  claim 37 ,\n wherein said manual input judging section has a plurality of smoothing filters that have a different characteristic, calculates a plurality of smoothed steering torques by smoothing said steering torque using said smoothing filters respectively, and performs said manual input judgment by using said threshold to said smoothed steering torques.
