Abstract: A method for operating a steering system of a vehicle, wherein an actuator is provided for generating a moment at a steering handle of the vehicle, wherein the following steps are carried out: generating the moment up to a maximum moment if the maximum moment is enabled, and up to a lower limited moment if the maximum moment is limited, identifying a vehicle situation of the vehicle, enabling the maximum moment if the vehicle situation is identified as being a boarding and/or deboarding situation in order to brace the steering handle, and limiting the maximum moment if the vehicle situation is identified as being driving operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a steer-by-wire system, that includes a steering mechanism, a sensor for detecting a driver request, a steering control device, power electronics, an electric servomotor, a steering rack that can be moved by the servomotor and an actor for generating a feedback torque (MFF) at the steering mechanism as a function of a steering rack position, wherein the steering control unit is configured in such a way so as to subtract, based on the feedback torque (MFF), at least a portion from a driver request determined based on sensor data, and a method for operating a steer-by-wire system.

Abstract: Technologies and techniques for determining a gear rack force of a steer-by-wire steering system that includes a steering handle, for specifying a steering angle as a function of a steering handle position. A vehicle wheel actuator is configured to set the steering angle by movement of a gear rack of the steering system, by applying an actuating force, the gear rack being coupled to at least one vehicle wheel. A reaction force actuator may produce a reaction force on the steering handle in accordance with a gear rack force. Friction operation is determined, in which gear rack movement does not occur when the steering handle position is changed, and, if friction operation is present, the gear rack force is determined on the basis of the actuating force of the vehicle wheel actuator.

Abstract: A steering controller is disclosed, wherein the steering controller is configured in such a way as to obtain input signals from at least one sensor for detecting a steering request of a motor vehicle driver and at least one driver assistance system, wherein the steering controller is also configured to generate an actuating signal for a power electronics unit. The actuating signal is assembled from two components, wherein the steering controller is configured so that the first component is ascertained from the input signal from the at least one sensor. The signals from the driver assistance system have no influence on the first component. The second component is ascertained from the input signals from the at least one driver assistance system, wherein the signals from the sensor are taken into account in the second component.
