stuurinbreng

Stuurinbreng (steering input) is the input applied by a driver to a vehicle’s steering system, typically via the steering wheel. It serves as the primary command that governs the vehicle’s lateral motion and is commonly expressed as a steering wheel angle, torque, or a combination of both. In vehicle dynamics, stuurinbreng is regarded as an external control input that interacts with tire-road forces to produce a change in the vehicle’s heading.

In practice, stuurinbreng is measured with sensors such as a steering angle sensor and a torque sensor. Modern vehicles use electronic power steering (EPS), which translates the driver’s input into assistive torque and reshapes the steering feel. The relationship between input and actual steering response is influenced by factors such as steering system design, vehicle speed, and road conditions, and it is often described by dynamic models in control applications.

Stuurinbreng is a central consideration in driver assistance and automated driving systems. ADAS and autonomous driving algorithms may interpret, augment, or override driver input to maintain lane position, stability, or planned trajectories. Haptic feedback through the steering wheel communicates vehicle state and safety considerations to the driver. In steer-by-wire architectures, stuurinbreng from the driver is detected by sensors and converted into steering commands without a direct mechanical connection, enabling programmable steering feel and enhanced automation opportunities.

Practical handling of stuurinbreng requires accounting for driver variability, speed, road conditions, and tire characteristics. Control strategies in modern vehicles combine model-based dynamics with sensory data to ensure predictable and safe steering behavior while preserving the intended driving experience.
