A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle and to a method of operating such a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system may include an inceptor adapted for controlling a servo-assisted control unit via a mechanical linkage, first and second force generating devices that are mechanically connected to the inceptor in parallel and provided for generating respective first and second forces that act in operation on the inceptor, a hands-on/off detection management unit, and a decoupling device that mechanically decouples the second force generating device from the inceptor based on a control signal from the hands-on/off detection management unit.
A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
A method of operating a vehicle control system that controls a vehicle and comprises a servo-assisted control unit, a mechanical linkage that is coupled to the servo-assisted control unit, an inceptor adapted for controlling the servo-assisted control unit via the mechanical linkage, a first force generating device that is mechanically connected to the inceptor, a second force generating device that is mechanically connected to the inceptor in parallel to the first force generating device, a hands-on/off detection management unit that is connected to the inceptor, and a decoupling device that is coupled between the second force generating device and the inceptor, comprising:
