Method and system for improved active damping of steering systems

摘要

A method (400, 500) for generating an active damping torque signal (72) for a vehicle steering system (12) includes receiving a vehicle speed input (42), receiving a handwheel velocity input (304), receiving a handwheel torque input, and generating an active damping torque output (72) from each of the inputs, wherein the active damping torque output (72) is non-linear with respect to the handwheel velocity input (304).
