Abstract

A method for generating torque assist includes determining a model yaw rate value based on a vehicle speed, a steering angle, and a road-friction coefficient value and determining a differential yaw rate value using a difference between the model yaw rate value and a vehicle yaw rate value. The method also includes determining an updated road-friction coefficient value using at least the differential yaw rate value and generating a torque assist value based on the updated road-friction coefficient value and a model rack force value.
