Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a steering damping requirement of a steering device of a vehicle, a steering system, a computer program product and a computer-readable storage medium. The steering device is part of a steering system of the vehicle and is coupled to at least one actuator which is configured to apply a steering torque to the steering device. The method comprises at least the step of determining the steering damping requirement based on at least one rack force of the steering system, wherein the steering damping requirement forms at least a portion of a target steering torque with which the steering device can be acted upon by the at least one actuator.
