1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a motor-driven power steering, and particularly, to a power steering system equipped with a user interface that can be tuned by a user.
2. Description of Related Art
A motor-driven power steering (MDPS) is a device that assists a steering force of a steering wheel by an electric motor. Recently, the motor-driven power steering is provided with a sub-functional logic that can be tuned by a driver to improve convenience of the driver in accordance with the traveling situation, in addition to a basic logic for changing the steering force in accordance with the speed.
The basic principle of the sub-functional logic of the related art is to increase/decrease the amount of motor current calculated from the basic logic in response to tuning of the driver.
However, the sub-functional logic of the related art uses a uniform method of simply adding or subtracting a predetermined magnitude of current value that is determined by tuning of a user to or from the amount of motor current obtained from the basic logic. Therefore, the sub-functional logic of the related art cannot appropriately reflect the calculation basis of the basic logic, which may decreases a steering force from the drive.
