Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for detecting steering information in which a plurality of torque sensors and sensors for sensing a rotation angle of a steering shaft are provided and thus it is possible to calculate steering information, such as a steering torque, a steering angle, etc., even upon occurrence of failure in some sensors. A plurality of torque sensors and absolute angle sensors (rotation angle sensors) are provided, and after it is determined whether an output value of each sensor is synchronized, a torque and a steering angle are calculated accordingly. Therefore, even upon occurrence of failure in some sensors, it is possible to calculate a torque and a steering angle normally, and thus steering control is possible.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the four torque sensors are classified into a plurality of torque sensor groups,\n the torque calculator calculates the torque value applied to the torsion bar by using relative rotation angle information of torque sensors in a torque sensor group selected after synchronization states of the torque sensors are determined to be a normal state by the first synchronization checker, and all synchronization states of one or more torque sensors included in the selected torque sensor group are determined to be the normal state.
