1. A device for generating a haptic signal in a vehicle, in which a driver'"'"'s command is given via a rotary gas handle, comprising:
- a restoring device for generating a restoring force acting on the rotary gas handle and a servo force generator for generating a servo force acting on the rotary gas handle in a direction of actuation inducing acceleration or deceleration;
means for detecting at least one predefined operational condition for driving, where the predefined operational condition for driving is one that makes a change of the current speed advisable as a function of definite conditions; and
a servo unit operatively configured such that, as a function of the at least one detected predefined operational condition for driving, a theoretical speed for the vehicle is generated and, based on the theoretical speed for the vehicle, a servo signal for actuating a servo element is generated,wherein the servo element is operatively configured to adjust, based on the servo signal, at least one of the restoring force for the rotary gas handle and the servo force acting on the rotary gas handle.

Abstract
A device for generating a haptic signal in a vehicle is provided, in which a driver'"'"'s command can be given via a rotary gas handle. A servo unit is formed in such a manner that, as a function of at least one detected operational condition for driving, a theoretical speed of the vehicle can be generated. Based on the theoretical speed of the vehicle, a servo signal for actuation of a servo element of the vehicle is generated, where the servo element is formed such that a restoring force for the rotary gas handle or the torque required for moving the rotary gas handle is adjusted thereby.

7. A device for generating a haptic signal in a vehicle, in which a driver'"'"'command is given via a rotary gas handle, comprising:
-
at least one of a restoring device for generating a restoring force acting on the rotary gas handle and a servo force generator for generating a servo force acting on the rotary gas handle in a direction of actuation including acceleration or deceleration; means for detecting at least one predefined operational condition for driving, where the predefined operational condition for driving is one that makes a change of the current speed advisable as a function of definite conditions; and a servo unit operatively configured such that, as a function of the at least one detected predefined operational condition for driving, a theoretical speed for the vehicle is generated and, based on the theoretical speed for the vehicle, a servo signal for actuating a servo element is generated, wherein the servo element is operatively configured to adjust, based on the servo signal, at least one of the restoring force for the rotary gas handle and the servo force acting on the rotary gas handle, wherein the servo element is forced as an electromagnet transmitting a torque to the rotary gas handle, and wherein a rotor of the electromagnet is integrated into or on a rotary grip part of the rotary gas handle, and a stator of the electromagnet is integrated into or on one of a steering rod and a fixed grip part of the rotary gas handle.
