Abstract
A control system for providing an assist torque is provided. The control system includes a control algorithm module and a comfort limit module. The control algorithm module calculates a corrective steering torque based on a target vehicle state and an estimated vehicle state. The comfort limit module receives a handwheel torque. The comfort limit module calculates a limited corrective steering torque based on the corrective steering torque and the handwheel torque. The limited steering torque represents an allowable amount of the assist torque provided by the control system.
