We focus on the antivibration controller design problem for electrical power steering (EPS) systems. The EPS system has significant advantages over the traditional hydraulic steering system. However, the improper motor controller design would lead to the steering wheel vibration. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the antivibration control strategy. For the implementation study, we also present the motor driver design and the software design which is used to monitor the sensors and the control signal. Based on the investigation on the regular assistant algorithm, we summarize the difficulties and problems encountered by the regular algorithm. After that, in order to improve the performance of antivibration and the human-like steering feeling, we propose a new assistant strategy for the EPS. The experiment results of the bench test illustrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed control strategy. Compared with the regular controller, the proposed antivibration control reduces the vibration of the steering wheel a lot.

A kind of recirculating ball-type power steering system for electric power bus was designed. The control strategy of EPS is divided into two layers that are top layer strategy and bottom layer strategy. The assist mode of top layer strategy is researched. The simulation model based MATLAB/Simulation was build and verified by the simulation experiments. The results validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, which creates the research basis for further research and development of EPS.

Active Steering System

This paper outlines a method for using an active steering system with two electrical actuators (one power-steering actuator and one superposition actuator) in order to manipulate the steering rack position without torque feedback to the steering wheel. To this effect, the power-steering actuator is used to implement a feed-forward control in order to compensate for the inertial effect introduced by the angle superposition. A rudimentary steering system model is used to derive the relevant transfer functions and assemble the control law for the superposition actuator. Experimental results of a research project at the BMW Group are included.

Hydraulic Power Steering

Conventional hydraulic steering system has the problems of "low-speed heavy, high-speed flight" and energy-wasting when steering, the main reason is after the system is designed, the power characteristics are fixed. To solve this problem it is necessary to achieve the power characteristics of changing power steering system according to speed of vehicles, in order to offer the power that matches the speed. Using vehicle speed sensor signal to control pilot solenoid unloading valve to regulate the pressure of hydraulic system, can achieve the regulation of power characteristics, this article is based on such idea to design variable hydraulic power steering system for hydraulic power steering system of light trucks.

Steering Torque

This paper proposes a new electric power steering control strategy, which significantly reduces the effort needed to change the steering direction of stationary vehicles. Previous attempts to reduce undesirable steering vibration have failed to reduce the steering torque because high-assist gains tend to produce oscillation or increase noise sensitivity. Herein, to eliminate this vibration, a new control strategy was developed based on pinion angular velocity control using a newly developed observer based on a simplified steering model. Tests yielded excellent estimations of the pinion angular velocity, and this made it possible to eliminate vibration at all steering wheel rotation speeds. Experiments with a test vehicle confirmed significant steering torque reduction, over a wide range of steering wheel speeds, without vibration transmission to the driver. The proposed control strategy allowed use of an assist gain more than three times higher than is conventional. Additionally, the proposed control strategy does not require supplemental sensors.
