  • Adaptive variable effort power steering system
    Patent number: 6062336
    Abstract: An adaptive, variable effort power steering system is responsive signals from one or more low friction road surface vehicle handling controls which indicate when the system has become active in modifying handling, and thus indicates the existence of a near limit or at limit vehicle handling situation. Such controls include anti-lock braking systems (ABS), traction control systems (TCS) and integrated chassis control systems (ICCS). When such a handling limit signal is received, the power steering system responds by decreasing steering assist to provide a more "manual" steering feel as long as the handling limit situation is indicated. The handling limit signal may be a binary signal, indicating activity or no activity of an anti-lock brake system, traction control system or a chassis control system such a yaw rate control.
