Experimental research of the electromechanical steering system

The development of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is a global trend. One of the types of ADAS are systems that control the movement of a vehicle in a lane, preventing unintended departure from the lane. When implementing the lane keeping assist system, one of the most important functions is the implementation of external steering control. This article presents tests of the electromechanical steering system with the possibility of external control. Conducted experimental research of the developed system. Based on the test results, conclusions were made on the system’s compliance with the requirements of GOST 31507-2012, and recommendations were given on the applicability to vehicles of the GAZ Group, in particular, the lane keeping assist system.

Electromechanical steering of an articulated vehicle

Abstract: In this research, an electromechanical steering system for an articulated frame-steered vehicle is developed. Using electromechanical steering instead of hydraulic steering could enable energy savings and more accurate control. The system is tested and demonstrated in a case machine. It is discovered that electromechanical steering is able to steer the vehicle similarly to the original system.

Modelling and Control of An Electromechanical Steering System in Full Vehicle Models

In the automotive industry, electrical and electromechanical components and systems become more and more important. In comparison with commonly used mechanical and hydraulic systems they offer a large number of advantages with respect to efficiency and flexibility, for example. Therefore, conventional hydraulic steering systems are increasingly being replaced with electromechanical ones. Currently, different concepts of electromechanical steering systems are being developed. In this work an electromechanical steering system with double pinions is modelled based on a uniform theory for discrete electromechanical systems. This steering system is implemented into a multi-body full vehicle model and a control scheme has been developed. Subsequently, the performance of the whole electromechanical system, and especially the behaviour of the controller, has been tested with different handling manoeuvres.
