Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for calculating the understeering ratio of automobiles provided with electric power steering (EPS) including an electric assistance motor (9) driven by an onboard electronic computer (11), a sensor (12, 14) providing a first piece of information on a real angular position of the steering wheel (3), a wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS) providing a second piece of information on the speed of the wheels (15) of the vehicle, characterised in that the onboard computer (11) of the EPS processes the second piece of information for estimating a theoretical angular position of the steering wheel (3), which is further compared to the real angular position of the steering wheel (3) in order to derive the understeering ratio (τ) of the vehicle.
