Patent ID: 8249778

Claim:
A method for controlling a steering feedback torque of a power steering system within a closed loop control system, whereby the power steering system provides an actual value (TACT) of the steering feedback torque, comprising the steps of: calculating a nominal value (T NOM ) of the steering feedback torque using vehicle dynamic related data, wherein said nominal value (T NOM ) of the steering feedback torque is calculated by a first processor using at least one of a measurement or an estimate of a vehicle speed; calculating a difference between said actual value (TACT) of the steering feedback torque and said nominal value (T NOM ) of the steering feedback torque; providing the difference as an input for a controller that provides an controller output (COUT); and providing an input for the power steering system on a basis of said controller output (COUT) influencing said steering feedback torque in a way that the difference between said actual value (TACT) of the steering feedback torque and said nominal value (T NOM ) of the steering feedback torque is at least reduced.
