ABSTRACT:
A method of zero-level adjustment of a rate sensor wherein the zero-level adjustment in the detection of yawing rate is obtained by subtracting a quantity of drift of an output from the rate sensor during the period of time that the vehicle is stopped or standing still from a subsequent output therefrom in the normal travelling operation of the vehicle. The current state of the vehicle, i.e., whether it is travelling or standing still, is detected by a travel distance sensing device which generates electric pulse signals for a given unit distance travelled by the vehicle; and the sampled outputs from the rate sensor are averaged for the period from immediately after the detection of a standing still state of the vehicle to the moment just before a starting of travel thereof. The thus-obtained averaged value is determined as a current drifting value of the sensor and is subtracted from a current angle of deviation value obtained during normal travel of the vehicle. A substantial improvement in accuracy of zero-level adjustment is thereby attained.
