1. A system for vehicle control adaptation to a crosswind and a wind gust, the system comprising:
a controller situated within a vehicle and configured to receive wind data inputs, wherein the wind data inputs are based on a location of the vehicle and include a sustained wind velocity, a sustained wind direction, and a wind gust level;
one or more sensors situated within the vehicle; and
a lane keeping system including one or more steering actuators situated within the vehicle;
the controller further configured to:
receive vehicle measurement data from the one or more sensors situated within the vehicle;
determine a wind impact on the vehicle based on the wind data inputs and the vehicle measurement data; and
compensate for the wind impact by:
generating a feedforward gain to compensate for a low bandwidth component of the wind data inputs, wherein the low bandwidth component includes at least one of the sustained wind velocity or the sustained wind direction;
generating a feedback gain to compensate for a high bandwidth component of the wind data inputs, wherein the high bandwidth component includes at least one of the wind gust level or a wind gust direction; and
generating, using the feedforward gain and the feedback gain, a control signal to compensate for the wind impact, wherein the control signal is configured to adjust a steering torque from the one or more steering actuators.
