Determining steering angle of steering column of vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a steering angle of a steering column of a vehicle, comprising:
- determining the steering angle as a sum of a shifted steering angle and an offset; and
updating the steering angle by adjusting the offset in response to detecting an incoherence between the steering angle and a lateral vehicle dynamic, wherein the incoherence results in a negative value of a product of corresponding values of the steering angle and the lateral vehicle dynamic, wherein steps of the method are performed by a processor.

Abstract
A system and a method determine a steering angle of a steering column of a vehicle as a sum of a shifted steering angle and an offset. The steering angle is updated by adjusting the offset in response to detecting incoherence between the steering angle and a lateral vehicle dynamic.

17. A system for determining a steering angle of a steering column of a vehicle, comprising a processor for:
-
determining the steering angle as a sum of a shifted steering angle and an offset; and
forupdating the steering angle by adjusting the offset in response to detecting an incoherence between the steering angle and a lateral vehicle dynamic, wherein the incoherence results in a negative value of a product of corresponding values of the steering angle and the lateral vehicle dynamic.

18. A motor vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one sensor for measuring at least one lateral vehicle dynamic of the motor vehicle; a sensor for measuring a signal representing a shifted steering angle; and a processor for determining a steering angle of a steering column of the motor vehicle as a sum of a shifted steering angle and an offset, and for adjusting iteratively the steering angle in response to detecting an incoherence between the steering angle and the lateral vehicle dynamic, wherein the incoherence results in a negative value of a product of corresponding values of the steering angle and the lateral vehicle dynamic. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
