A trailer backup assist system for a vehicle reversing a trailer, according to one embodiment, includes a sensor that senses a hitch angle between the vehicle and the trailer. The trailer backup assist system also includes a steering input device movable between a plurality of successive positions that each provide an incremental change to a desired curvature of the trailer. In addition, the trailer backup assist system includes a controller that generates a steering command for the vehicle to guide the trailer on the desired curvature based on the sensed hitch angle and a kinematic relationship with the trailer. The incremental change is substantially equal for a population of trailers to normalize control of the desired curvature.
