Abstract: A method for actuating a vehicle steering actuator which is coupled to a steering gear, comprising: providing an end stop return function with which a first control variable for the vehicle steering actuator can be ascertained, on the basis of which a force that returns the steering gear in the direction of a defined position can be at least partially generated with the vehicle steering actuator; ascertaining whether the steering gear falls below a limit distance from an end stop; and if this is the case: actuating the vehicle steering actuator on the basis of the first control variable ascertained with the end stop return function, which control variable has a value above a threshold value; wherein, if the limit distance is not fallen below, no control variable is ascertained with the end stop return function or a control variable with a value not exceeding the threshold value.

Abstract: A database structure includes at least one of a distributed data storage structure configured to store a plurality of different entity entries, each entity entry being configured to store datasets. The datasets comprise data and a dataset identifier, each entity entry further being configured to store a header comprising matching edges. Each matching edge comprises a matching rule or a reference to the matching rule, the dataset identifiers of any pairs of datasets which match with each other with respect to the matching rule, an index data structure configured to store matching keys, which refer to a respective matching rule, and dataset identifiers of the datasets corresponding to the respective matching key, a lookup data structure configured to store dataset identifiers and a storage location of the corresponding entity entry in the distributed data storage structure or a reference to the storage location.

Abstract: In a method and device for controlling driving dynamics, at least one steering action at a vehicle axle being controlled, a driving-dynamics setpoint, which is described by at least a yaw-dynamics setpoint, being ascertained, a steering-angle precontrol value being determined on the basis of the driving-dynamics setpoint, using a model of the controlled system, the driving state, which is described by at least the yaw rate, being ascertained, at least one steering-angle correction value being ascertained, based on the deviation of the actual yaw rate from a setpoint yaw rate, and the steering action being defined by the steering-angle precontrol value and the at least one steering-angle correction value.
