Abstract: A vehicle steering arrangement for a vehicle comprises a rack a position sensor, a steering column, a steering wheel, a torque sensor arranged to sense a torque applied onto the steering wheel and arranged to provide a torque signal representative thereof, an electronic control unit provided with a virtual steering model, a rack-mounted electromechanical actuator, and a force obtaining arrangement configured to obtain forces of steered wheels acting on the rack. The electronic control unit is configured to provide a virtual rack position based on the virtual steering model and at least a combination of the obtained forces and the torque signal, and is arranged to control the rack-mounted electromechanical actuator such that the current position of the rack is controlled towards the virtual rack position. The present disclosure also relates to an autonomous vehicle steering arrangement, a vehicle and a method of steering a vehicle.

Abstract: A method is provided for intelligent scaling of torque overlay intervention for a semi-autonomous steering system in a road vehicle having a semi-autonomous steering function arranged to selectively apply a steering wheel overlay torque. If decided that a driver is significantly overriding an intervention, the overlay torque is scaled by a scaling factor being a function of applied steering wheel torque. If decided that the driver has been significantly overriding the intervention for more than a pre-determined first time period, the scaling factor is set to its lowest possible value for a specific driving situation. If decided that the driver has been significantly overriding the intervention for more than a pre-determined second time period, where the pre-determined second time period is equal to or exceeds the pre-determined first time period, the scaling factor is faded-out.
