Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for enhancing steering control of a recreational vehicle. One or more mechanical dampers are coupled to and resist movement of a steering system of the recreational vehicle, and an electrically actuated device is coupled to the steering system for applying torque to the steering system. A sensor is also positioned adjacent the steering system that generates data indicating an operational state of the recreational vehicle. A first torque applied to the steering system by the one or more mechanical dampers is estimated based on the operational state, a second torque to apply to the steering system by the electrically actuated device is calculated based on the estimated first torque and the operational state, and the electrically actuated device is operated to apply the second torque to the steering system.
