Abstract

A method for adapting the steering feel for a driver of a vehicle at an input element of the vehicle is described. The vehicle has a steer-by-wire steering system. The method comprises creating a reference of the steering feel. The method further comprises selecting scaling factors for the reference model such that characteristics of the steering feel remain constant for different steering ratios. The method further comprises adapting the steering feel using the scaling factors.
