Systems and methods for column torque estimation without a torsion bar

Abstract:

A method for estimating torsion bar torque includes receiving, from a first sensor, a handwheel position value indicating a position of a handwheel of a steering system and receiving, from a second sensor, a motor position value indicating a position of a motor of the steering system. The method also includes estimating a torsion bar torque value using the handwheel position value and the motor position value.
