Since the yaw resonance frequency of the vehicle changes according to the vehicle speed, the cut-off frequency fc may be varied according to the vehicle speed.

For example, the controller 30 makes the gain K and the transmission ratio inversely proportional. That is, the controller 30 uses the speed increase rate of the rotation of the output shaft 2b relative to the rotation of the input shaft 2a (hereinafter referred to as “speed increase rate Gvg”) to change the gain “Kvg” after the change of the equation (2). Asking.
- speed increase rate Gvg speed increase rate of the rotation of the output shaft 2b relative to the rotation of the input shaft 2a
- the controller 30 calculates the gain Kvg by dividing the gain K by the transmission rate (ie, “1 + Gvg”). By doing so, the controller 30 appropriately changes the additional friction torque Tc based on the transmission rate.
- the steering angle sensor 3 In order to obtain a highly accurate steering angle ⁇ , the steering angle sensor 3 normally estimates the steering angle ⁇ using the rotation angle of the motor 7 detected from the motor rotation angle sensor 8 or the like.
- the rotation angle of the motor 7 is affected by the transmission ratio of the transmission ratio variable mechanism 19. That is, as a result of the rotation angle of the motor 7 being amplified according to the transmission ratio, the fluctuation of the steering angle ⁇ estimated based on the rotation angle of the motor 7 is the actual steering angle (hereinafter referred to as “actual steering angle”) steered by the driver. Larger than the fluctuation of Further, as described in the example of the friction application control, the controller 30 calculates the additional friction torque Tc based on the steering angle ⁇ . Therefore, when the transmission ratio variable mechanism 19 is driven, the additional friction torque Tc is not appropriately set because the detected steering angle ⁇ is different from the actual steering angle, and as a result, the steering feeling may be deteriorated. There is sex.
- the controller 30 appropriately changes the rising characteristic of the additional friction torque Tc by changing the gain K according to the transmission ratio, thereby adding the additional friction torque suitable for the actual steering angle.

第1及び第2実施形態では、ゲインKを変更することで、付加摩擦トルクTcの立ち上がり特性を変更していた。しかし、これに代えて、または、これに加えて、コントローラ30は、伝達比や目標角速度ωvg等に基づきカットオフ周波数fcを変更してもよい。この場合、コントローラ30は、例えば、伝達比等に対応するカットオフ周波数fcの適正値を示すマップや式を参照することで、カットオフ周波数fcを定める。上述のマップ等は、実験等により作成され、コントローラ30のメモリに予め保持される。このように、コントローラ30は、カットオフ周波数fcを変更することによっても、付加摩擦トルクTcの変化を調整することができ、立ち上がり特性を変更することができる。
