    Abstract: A method for compensating torque fluctuation in a steering column having at least one universal joint includes: measuring an input steering angle and an output angle of the steering column; determining a steering angular velocity value based on the input steering angle; determining a TAS angular velocity value based on the output angle; determining an angular velocity ratio signal based on a ratio of the steering angular velocity value and the TAS angular velocity value; determining, across a predetermined ranges of values of the input steering angle, a maximum value of the angular velocity ratio signal; determining, based on the maximum value of the angular velocity ratio signal, an equivalent angle and an equivalent phase to characterize the torque fluctuation; determining a compensation torque signal based on the equivalent angle and the equivalent phase; and producing, by an electric motor, a compensation torque based on the compensation torque signal.

    Abstract: An apparatus (104) and a method (800) for controlling steering of rear wheels (103) of a vehicle (100) are disclosed. The apparatus (104) comprises a control means (105) configured to receive a first signal indicative of a front wheel steering angle and a second signal indicative of a selected mode selected from at least a first mode and a second mode. The control means is also configured to determine a proposed rear wheel steering angle in dependence on the first signal and the second signal and to provide an output signal configured to cause steering of rear wheels (103) at the proposed rear wheel steering angle.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for determining the heading of a 4WS vehicle. The 4WS vehicle's dynamic pivot point is calculated from the steering angles. A distance between the dynamic pivot point and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antenna is determined. A time delay is determined in the form of the distance between the GNSS antenna and the pivot point divided by the current vehicle horizontal velocity. The time delay is multiplied by a vehicle yaw rate to obtain a result which is added to a GNSS antenna heading to give a true heading. A control point for the 4WS vehicle is selected to allow that control point to follow a desired trajectory.

    Abstract: Four-wheel steering of a vehicle, e.g., in which leading wheels and trailing wheels are steered independently of each other, can provide improved maneuverability and stability. Steering angle constraints may be used to limit or prevent saturation of steering by only one set of wheels as well as to reduce sideslip. The steering angle constraints are vehicle independent and applicable across a fleet of different vehicles based on vehicle speed. For instance, the steering angle constraints establish angle limits that dynamically adjust based on vehicle speed to ensure vehicle velocity and acceleration remain within predefined limits as established by autonomous vehicle system design.
