Abstract
A steering system for a motor vehicle with at least one steerable wheel, an actuator, and an auxiliary drive. The steering motion initiated by the driver of the vehicle and the motion initiated by the actuator are superimposed by the auxiliary drive to generate the steering motion of the steerable wheel. At least two steering components are computed and a control signal is generated to control the actuator by superimposing the computed steering components. The steering components are computed in parallel and independently of one another so that several functions are beneficially combined to control running behavior. This provides an improvement of running dynamics by means of steering interventions.
