Abstract

See full text

A rear wheel turning system for a four-wheel steered vehicle includes a rear wheel turning mechanism for turning the rear wheels of the vehicle, a front wheel turning angle sensor which detects a turning angle of front wheels .theta..sub.F, a vehicle speed sensor which detects a vehicle speed V, a yaw rate detector which detects a yaw rate .PSI. of the vehicle, a yaw acceleration detector which detects a yaw acceleration .PSI. of the vehicle, and a control unit which causes the rear wheel turning mechanism to turn the rear wheels by a target rear wheel turning angle TG.theta..sub.R which is defined by formula TG.theta..sub.R =-K.sub.1 .theta..sub.F +K.sub.2 .multidot.V.multidot..PSI.+K.sub.3 .multidot.V.multidot..PSI. wherein K.sub.1, K.sub.2 and K.sub.3 respectively represent positive coefficients. The coefficient K.sub.3 is increased with increase in the vehicle speed V over a predetermined range of vehicle speed where the coefficient K.sub.2 is constant.
