Systems and Methods for Controlling a Vehicle Steering System

摘要

Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle steering system (12) are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving a desired front road wheel angle signal at a controller (78). The desired front road wheel angle signal is indicative of a desired front road wheel angle of vehicle wheels (46, 48). The method further includes receiving a parking assist request signal at the controller (78) indicating a parking assist operational mode is desired. The method further includes generating a desired motor torque signal for controlling a power steering motor (82) in the parking assist operational mode utilizing the controller (78), based on the desired front road wheel angle signal and the parking assist request signal (46, 48).
