Abstract

A steering control device (10) executes operation amount calculation processing, estimation processing, correction processing, and operation processing. The operation amount calculation processing calculates an operation amount of control of using a steering torque as a control amount and using a target steering torque as a target value of the control amount. The estimation processing uses a nominal model and a filter to estimate a disturbance torque. The correction processing corrects the operation amount according to the disturbance torque estimated by the estimation processing. The operation processing operates the motor of a steering device so as to generate a torque corresponding to the operation amount corrected by the correction processing. The order of a polynomial of the denominator of the transfer function of the filter is higher than the order of a polynomial of the denominator of the transfer function of the nominal model.

Abstract

A steering control device (10) performs an operation amount calculation process, a correction process, and an operation process. The operation amount calculation process is for calculating the operation amount of control in which a steering torque is used as a control amount and a target steering torque is used as a target value of the control amount. The correction process is for correcting the operation amount on the basis of a correction amount corresponding to the difference between the actual steering torque and the steering torque which is assumed by a nominal model while using the steering torque and the operation amount as input. The operation process is for operating a motor of a steering device so that a torque corresponding to the operation amount corrected by the correction process is generated. The correction process includes an intermediate process which is repeatedly performed at prescribed intervals and in which a correction amount calculated at one sampling timing of the operation amount is an intermediate correction amount value that is virtually calculated using values at two respective adjacent sampling timings of the operation amount.
