  • Publication number: 20170210415
    Abstract: A method for controlling the provision of oscillatory feedback through a steering system of a vehicle. The method comprises receiving a request to provide oscillatory feedback through the steering system of the vehicle. The method further comprises determining a characteristic of a road surface being traversed by the vehicle. The method still further comprises imparting to a component of the steering system an oscillating force having one or more oscillation properties that is/are dependent upon the determined road surface characteristic to thereby provide the requested oscillatory feedback.

  • Publication number: 20170080973
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling the provision of oscillatory feedback through a steering system of a vehicle. The method carried out by the system includes receiving a request to provide oscillatory feedback through the steering system of the vehicle, acquiring a value of a steering angle-related parameter, and comparing the value of the steering angle-related parameter to a predetermined threshold value. The method further includes automatically inhibiting the provision of the oscillatory feedback when the value of the steering angle-related parameter is above the predetermined threshold value.
