SYSTEM WITH SMART STEERING FORCE FEEDBACK
First Claim
1. A method for providing a force feedback to an operator input device, comprising:
- determining an actual input operation parameter of the operator input device;
determining a desired steering operation parameter of a steering mechanism based on the actual input operation parameter of the operator input device;
determining an actual steering operation parameter of the steering mechanism;
comparing the actual steering operation parameter to the desired steering operation parameter and to a previous desired steering operation parameter; and
generating a command that selectively activates the force feedback to the operator input device based on the comparison.

Abstract
A steering system and method for providing a force feedback to an operator input device are disclosed. The method may determine an actual position of the operator input device. The method may determine a desired steering mechanism position of a steering mechanism based on the actual position of the operator input device. The method may determine an actual steering mechanism position of the steering mechanism. The method may compare the actual steering mechanism position to the desired steering mechanism position and to a previous desired steering mechanism position. The method may generate a command that selectively activates force feedback to the operator input device based on the comparison.
