Abstract
A method for implementing a vehicle stability enhancement (VSE) system for a vehicle is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving a handwheel angle input and adjusting the handwheel angle input in response to a variable steering ratio generated in the vehicle. The adjusted handwheel angle input is inputted into a reference model, the reference model thereby outputting one or more desired vehicle handling aspects.
Claims14
A method for implementing a vehicle stability enhancement (VSE) system for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a handwheel angle input;
- adjusting said handwheel angle input in response to a variable steering ratio generated in the vehicle;
- and
- inputting said adjusted handwheel angle input into a reference model, said reference model thereby outputting one or more desired vehicle handling aspects.
A vehicle stability enhancement system, comprising:
- a vehicle reference model for determining one or more desired vehicle handling aspects in response to a handwheel angle input, said handwheel angle input being adjusted in response to a variable steering ratio generated in the vehicle;
- and
- a control block for receiving said desired vehicle aspects and for generating vehicle control outputs in response to said desired vehicle aspects, and further in response to vehicle inputs thereto.
A storage medium, comprising:
- a machine readable computer program code for implementing a vehicle stability enhancement (VSE) system for a vehicle;
- and
- instructions for causing a computer to implement a method, the method further comprising:
- receiving a handwheel angle input;
- adjusting said handwheel angle input in response to a variable steering ratio generated in the vehicle;
- and
- inputting said adjusted handwheel angle input into a reference model, said reference model thereby outputting one or more desired vehicle handling aspects.
A computer data signal, comprising:
- code configured to cause a processor to implement a method for implementing a vehicle stability enhancement (VSE) system for a vehicle, the method further comprising:
- receiving a handwheel angle input;
- adjusting said handwheel angle input in response to a variable steering ratio generated in the vehicle;
- and
- inputting said adjusted handwheel angle input into a reference model, said reference model thereby outputting one or more desired vehicle handling aspects.
