  • Patent number: 11338849
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for analyzing and/or at least partially compensating steering wheel torsional vibrations, particularly during operation of a steering device in a vehicle, wherein at least one sensing signal is acquired and at least one interference characteristic variable which is correlated to the steering wheel torsional vibration is extracted from the sensing signal. It is proposed that during a monitoring time interval a change over time in the interference characteristic variable and a change over time in a wheel frequency which is correlated to a current wheel rotational speed characteristic variable is monitored and said changes are combined in order to analyze and/or to at least partially compensate steering wheel torsional vibrations to form a common evaluation dataset.
