A method for actuating a vehicle steering actuator which is coupled to a steering gear, comprising: providing an end stop return function with which a first control variable for the vehicle steering actuator can be ascertained, on the basis of which a force that returns the steering gear in the direction of a defined position can be at least partially generated with the vehicle steering actuator; ascertaining whether the steering gear falls below a limit distance from an end stop; and if this is the case: actuating the vehicle steering actuator on the basis of the first control variable ascertained with the end stop return function, which control variable has a value above a threshold value; wherein, if the limit distance is not fallen below, no control variable is ascertained with the end stop return function or a control variable with a value not exceeding the threshold value.

End stop return function for vehicle steering

In a method and device for controlling driving dynamics, at least one steering action at a vehicle axle being controlled, a driving-dynamics setpoint, which is described by at least a yaw-dynamics setpoint, being ascertained, a steering-angle precontrol value being determined on the basis of the driving-dynamics setpoint, using a model of the controlled system, the driving state, which is described by at least the yaw rate, being ascertained, at least one steering-angle correction value being ascertained, based on the deviation of the actual yaw rate from a setpoint yaw rate, and the steering action being defined by the steering-angle precontrol value and the at least one steering-angle correction value.
