Method for calculating a desired yaw rate for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for calculating a driver'"'"'s desired yaw rate of a vehicle for use in a vehicle movement control system, comprising the steps of:
- determining, via a computer, the current yaw rate of the vehicle,determining, via the computer, the rate of the vehicle'"'"'s steering wheel rotation, wherein the method further comprises the steps of;
calculating, via the computer, a first desired yaw rate of the vehicle based on the determined current yaw rate of the vehicle and the determined rate of the vehicle'"'"'s steering wheel rotation, the desired yaw rate being further calculated based on an assumption that the driver applies a rate of steering wheel rotation as function of the driver'"'"'s perceived error in yaw rate, andproviding, via the computer, the first desired yaw rate as an input to the vehicle movement control system for controlling the vehicle.

Abstract
A method is provided for calculating a driver'"'"'s desired yaw rate of a vehicle for use in a vehicle movement control system and includes determining the current yaw rate of the vehicle, determining the rate of the vehicle'"'"'s steering wheel rotation. The method further includes calculating a first desired yaw rate of the vehicle based on the determined current yaw rate of the vehicle and the determined rate of the vehicle'"'"'s steering wheel rotation, the desired yaw rate being further calculated based on the assumption that the driver applies a rate of steering wheel rotation as function of the driver'"'"'s perceived error in yaw rate, and finally the step of providing the first desired yaw rate as an input to the vehicle movement control system for controlling the vehicle.
