Abstract
A method for coordinated chassis control under a split road friction condition includes receiving, in response to a detected split road friction condition, a first rack position command from a brake controller of a vehicle. The method also includes receiving a second rack position command from a handwheel actuator, estimating a driver torque value based on the second rack position command, determining a driver intent value based on the driver torque value, and generating a blended rack position command based on the first rack position command and the driver intent value. The method also includes selectively controlling rack position of a rack associated with a steering system of the vehicle based on the blended rack position command, the first rack position command, and the second rack position command.
