The invention provides a method and computer usable medium, including a
program, for steering a vehicle having driver-controlled front wheel
steering and active rear wheel steering. A rear wheel steering angle
static portion is determined based on a control gain and a front wheel
steering angle. A slew-limited magnitude of desired lateral acceleration
is determined based on a desired lateral acceleration. A multiplying
factor is determined based on the slew-limited magnitude of desired
lateral acceleration. A feed-forward rear steering angle is determined
based on the multiplying factor, the rear wheel steering angle static
portion, and a rear wheel steering angle dynamic portion.
