Abstract:
A steering control apparatus includes a microcomputer configured to control driving of a motor based on a steering torque so as to generate, for a steering mechanism, an assist force as power for turning front wheels. The microcomputer calculates an assist component indicating the assist force to be generated in the motor based on the steering torque, acquires steered moments about axes extending in a vertical direction of the front wheels from hub units that rotatably support the front wheels and include front wheel sensors configured to detect forces applied to the front wheels, respectively, and compensates for the assist component by using the acquired steered moments so as to generate, in the motor, a vibration suppressing force for suppressing a reverse input vibration.

Claim (Index 1):
A steering control apparatus, comprising a control unit configured to control driving of a motor that is a source of an assist force to be applied to a steering mechanism of a vehicle based on an operation condition amount changed through a driver's operation for the steering mechanism, wherein\n the control unit is configured to:\n calculate an assist component indicating the assist force to be generated in the motor based on the operation condition amount; \n acquire information on a moment load about an axis extending in a vertical direction of a steered wheel of the vehicle from a bearing apparatus that rotatably supports the steered wheel and includes a sensor configured to detect a force applied to the steered wheel; and \n compensate for the assist component by using the acquired information on the moment load so as to generate, in the motor, a vibration suppressing force for suppressing a vibration caused in the steering mechanism by the moment load of the steered wheel.
