  • Publication number: 20240067266
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating an actuator of a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle in a speed range from standstill to parking and/or maneuvering. In one example, the method includes detecting an instantaneous speed of the motor vehicle, determining a limited steering angle as a function of at least the instantaneous speed, detecting a steering angle demand, and activating an actuator for setting a steering angle of at least one wheel, at least as a function of the steering angle demand and having regard to the limited steering angle.

  • Publication number: 20240067265
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating an actuator of a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to parking and/or maneuvering speeds. The method includes detecting an instantaneous steering angle of at least one wheel on an axle of the motor vehicle, detecting a steering angle demand, determining a limit value of an acceleration of a drive mechanism of the actuator at least as a function of the instantaneous steering angle, and activating the actuator for setting a steering angle of at least one wheel as a function of the steering angle demand and using the limit value of the acceleration.

  • Publication number: 20230264739
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle, the system having at least one steering function that requests one or more steering angle changes as target steering angles for at least at one vehicle axle. An arbitration unit (AE) weights the steering angle changes as target steering angles (SLw_i) and, taking into account at least one target steering angle (SLw_i), determines an overall target steering angle (G_SLw). Before the overall target steering angle (G_SLw) is set by an actuator of the steer-by-wire steering system, a check is carried out to see whether a gradient of the overall target steering angle (G_SLw) is smaller than or equal to the gradient of the at least one target steering angle (SLw_i).
