Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a vehicle with a defect on a single wheel steering actuator, wherein an avoidance direction for a steering intervention to avoid a collision is determined as a function of a speed of the vehicle and a side of the defect.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a track of a vehicle wheel using a wheel steering-angle adjusting device during operation of the vehicle, the wheel steering-angle adjusting device including a steering mechanism with a movably mounted steering adjusting element for changing a wheel steering angle of the vehicle wheel and a steering actuator for changing a position of the steering adjusting element. The steering adjusting element has, for coupling to the steering actuator, a coupling portion which defines a maximum adjusting displacement which is greater than an adjusting displacement required for changing the wheel steering angle of the vehicle wheel. An operating variable of the steering actuator is determined and compared with a reference variable. When the operating variable differs from the reference variable, for the adjustment of the track of the vehicle wheel, an operating position and/or resting position of the steering adjusting element is varied using the steering actuator.

Abstract: A method is for reducing an energy demand and/or energy consumption by a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The vehicle includes a steering system having at least two wheel steering angle actuators for changing a respective wheel steering angle of a vehicle wheel on an individual wheel basis, and a vehicle sensor system for driving situation recognition. In at least one operating state, in which a predefined driving situation is identified using the vehicle sensor system, a power consumption by at least one wheel steering angle actuator is reduced in order to reduce the energy demand and/or energy consumption, in particular such that the power consumption by the at least one wheel steering angle actuator is below a power consumption by the at least one wheel steering angle actuator planned for in the identified predefined driving situation.

Abstract: A method for influencing a stiffness behavior of a vehicle assembly of a vehicle includes changing a wheel steering angle of at least one vehicle wheel of the vehicle using at least one wheel steering angle controller of a steering system of the vehicle, and reducing a stiffness of the vehicle assembly by configuring and/or adapting a chassis characteristic of the vehicle. The method further includes actuating the at least one wheel steering angle controller in at least one driving mode state to selectively influence the stiffness behavior of the vehicle assembly, such that a change in the stiffness of the vehicle assembly caused by the configuration and/or adaptation of the chassis characteristic is compensated as a function of a driving situation.
