ABSTRACT:
A servo-assisted steering system for a motor vehicle, in which the steering system includes a steering wheel for presetting a desired steering angle for the wheels of the motor vehicle, a driving-dynamics means for superimposing a correction angle on the steering angle, the correction angle being determined with a view toward increasing the driving stability and/or the driving comfort of the motor vehicle, and a servo drive. To keep the efficiency of the driving-dynamics means nearly constant over the entire road-speed range of the vehicle, the servo drive is implemented as a variable torque assistance system, the degree of torque assistance being dependent on the road speed of the vehicle and on at least one variable of the driving-dynamics means that characterizes the correction angle.
