  • Vision based active steering system
    Patent number: 10800445
    Abstract: One or more embodiments are described for facilitating a vision based active steering system. An example steering system includes a handwheel actuator that generates a first feedback torque based on road surface forces at a roadwheel. The steering system further includes a controller that receives, from an image-based system, a control signal indicative of a type of road surface based on an image of the road surface. Further, in response, the controller adjusts one or more parameters of the handwheel actuator to generate a second feedback torque based on the road surface forces at the roadwheel.

  • Method for power steering systems
    Patent number: 9079605
    Abstract: A method for controlling a steering system of a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving a measured hand wheel torque signal indicating a measured hand wheel torque of the steering system. A desired hand wheel torque signal is generated, the desired hand wheel torque signal being indicative of a desired hand wheel torque for the steering system. A hand wheel torque tracking error signal based on the measured hand wheel torque signal and the desired hand wheel torque signal is then calculated. To adjust an amount of motor torque applied to the steering system, a desired compensation torque signal is generated based on the hand wheel torque tracking error signal multiplied by a calibration constant.

  • Methods and systems involving return torque
    Patent number: 8452493
    Abstract: A method of controlling a motor of a power steering system is provided. The method includes: estimating a scale factor based on a vehicle speed and a hand wheel torque; applying the scale factor to a return command; and generating a motor command signal based on the applying the scale factor.
