The invention relates to a Method of controlling a steer-by-wire
steering system (1) of a road vehicle having at least two steerable road wheels, wherein two steerable road wheels are connected to each other via a rack (6) moved by a road wheel
actuator (5), the method comprising the following steps a) Determining a target rack position of the rack (6) based on a steering input from a driver; b) Calculating a predicted
yaw rate (10) of the road vehicle based on a predicted
steering wheel angle; c) Measuring an actual
yaw rate (11) and calculating a difference between the predicted
yaw rate (10) and the actual yaw rate (11); d) Determining a first value for rack
position control based on the difference of the actual yaw rate (11) and the predicted yaw rate (10) in a first controller (9); e) Calculating a
steady state yaw rate (15) of the road vehicle based on the
steering wheel angle, the velocity of the road vehicle and the lateral and longitudinal acceleration; f) Calculating a difference between the
steady state yaw rate (15) and the actual yaw rate (11); g) Determining a second value for rack
position control based on the difference of the actual yaw rate (11) and the predicted
steady state yaw rate (15) in a second controller; h) Calculating a modified rack position request for the road wheel
actuator (7) based on the sum (17) of the first and second values and the target rack position.
