ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for electronically controlling the steering force needed to operate the handle of a vehicle, according to the velocity of the vehicle and the angular displacement of the handle. The apparatus includes a memory for storing various characteristic maps of different steering characteristics, a selecting switch for selecting one of these maps, and a control circuit for applying the electric current depending on the selected map to the solenoid of a flow control means which controls the pressure flow supplied to the power cylinder of a power steering system. The driver of the vehicle can select any desired control pattern from the memory by operating the selecting switch.
