A system and a method of controlling a power steering system of a vehicle are provided. A control system includes a control module operable to receive sensor data and control the power steering system. The control module is configured to determine whether ...

A method for determining whether hands of an operator of a vehicle are positioned on a hand wheel of the vehicle is provided. The method generates a first frequency content below a first frequency from a hand wheel torque signal. The method generates a sec...

A method for controlling operation of a torque-assist motor includes determining a rotational position of the torque-assist motor and producing a motor speed signal that is indicative of a rotational speed of the motor. One or more gain factors are produce...

A motor control system is provided, including a motor and a control module. The motor operates at a rotational velocity, and creates a regenerative current. The motor has a target field weakening current that is configured for limiting the regenerative cur...

A control system to determine a hands on wheel (HOW) condition is provided. The control system includes a sensor (50) that monitors an amount of applied torque exerted upon a hand wheel (34), and a control module (60) for monitoring the sensor. The control...

A control method for a vehicle is provided. The control method includes estimating a magnitude of wheel disturbance based on wheel velocity, and generating a disturbance status signal based on the magnitude of wheel disturbance.
