Abstract
A method is disclosed for a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle, the system having at least one steering function that requests one or more steering angle changes as target steering angles for at least at one vehicle axle. An arbitration unit (AE) weights the steering angle changes as target steering angles (SLw_i) and, taking into account at least one target steering angle (SLw_i), determines an overall target steering angle (G_SLw). Before the overall target steering angle (G_SLw) is set by an actuator of the steer-by-wire steering system, a check is carried out to see whether a gradient of the overall target steering angle (G_SLw) is smaller than or equal to the gradient of the at least one target steering angle (SLw_i).
