DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AUTOMATIC STEERING SYSTEM OF VEHICLE AND DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CHECKING ABILITY TO PERFORM PRESCRIBED TARGET TRAVEL DIRECTION PARAMETER FOR VEHICLE

摘要

The present subject matter relates to a device (50) for controlling an automatic steering system (62) of a vehicle. The device (50) includes a signal input (58a), configured to receive a target travel direction parameter predetermined by an automatic vehicle control system (52, 54), a storage device (58b), wherein a correction factor is stored on the storage device (58b), a control device (58), configured to determine a corrected target travel direction parameter using the correction factor and the predetermined target travel direction parameter and to switch the automatic steering system (62) into a mode for maintaining the corrected target travel direction. The device (50) further comprises an evaluation device (72), configured to receive an actual travel direction parameter determined by a sensor (64, 66) of the vehicle, and to compare with the predetermined target travel direction parameter, wherein if the actual travel direction parameter deviates from the target travel direction parameter by at least a minimum difference, the correction factor is reset again in accordance with the comparison and stored on the storage device (58b). The present subject matter further relates to a corresponding method for controlling an automatic steering system (62) of a vehicle and device and method for checking the ability to perform a prescribed target travel direction parameter for a vehicle.
