ABSTRACT:
A method of steering road vehicles having front-wheel and rear-wheel steering is provided in which by an integrating feedback of a measured yaw rate signal to the front-wheel steering the yaw motion is decoupled from the lateral motion of the front axle, the problem of steering thereby being split into two subproblems to be solved separately, that is into a lateral track guiding of the front axle by a signal which a driver generates with the steering wheel, and into an automatic control of the yaw motion, and the eigenvalues of the yaw motion can be shifted as desired by feedback of the measured yaw rate signal to the rear-wheel steering in such a manner that the choice of the yaw eigenvalues has no influence on the steering transfer function from the steering wheel to the lateral motion of the front axle.
When employing the steering method according to the invention the driver no longer has to worry at all about the yaw motion of his vehicle; it is stable. Furthermore, via the rear-wheel steering eigenvalues of the yaw motion can be fixed as desired in adaption to the desired driving mode, such as sporting or comfortable.
