Method for determining a control standard of an active vehicle steering device controllable by a control device
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a yaw rate of a vehicle by determining a steering transit angle change for an active steering device (10) of the vehicle (1) controllable by a control device (11), the method comprising the steps of;
- influencing driving dynamics of the vehicle (1) including the yaw rate and steering transit angle change;
determining the steering transit angle change by the steps of;
calculating a nominal yawing rate (φ
_0) according to an initial steering transit angle preset by a driver, static wheel tread forces, and an actual speed of the vehicle without determining longitudinal forces which affect the driving dynamics of the vehicle;
determining a desired steering transit angle by applying the nominal yawing rate (φ
_0) to a dynamic driving state of the vehicle determined according to the actual speed of the vehicle, a longitudinal dynamic wheel tread forces affecting the driving dynamics of the vehicle and the initial steering transit angle;
subtracting the desired steering transit angle from the initial steering transit angle to obtain the steering transit angle change; and
superimposing the steering transit angle change on the steering transit angle (δ
_0) preset by the driver so that an actual yawing rate is reduced towards the nominal yawing rate (φ
_0).

Abstract
A method for determining a control standard of an active steering device (10) of a vehicle (1) controllable by a control device (11). A driving dynamic of the vehicle (1) is influenced according to the control standard. The control standard is determined according to a nominal yawing rate calculated at least with reference to different actual operating parameters of the vehicle and one dynamic vehicle state determined according to the nominal yawing rate and actual operating state parameters. The control standard is superimposed on a steering transit angle preset by a driver so that an existing actual yawing rate is changed in direction of the nominal yawing rate.
