A novel friction compensation control method is proposed to compensate both the dynamic and static friction torque of steering system. The change of EPS assist torque under fixed amplitude friction compensation torque can cause the diver’s steering feeling fuzzy. That is due to the fact that the friction torque felt by driver varies with EPS assist gain. Therefore, a further modified friction compensation control method is proposed based on EPS assist gain to make the driver have similar friction feeling. Finally, computer simulation and vehicle test are performed to verify the effectiveness of adaptation method in the proposed controller. Test results indicate that the proposed controller improved the driver’s steering performance.

Electric power steering (EPS) systems are rapidly replacing existing traditional hydraulic power steering systems due to their important advantages such as fuel and cost savings, environmental compatibility and flexibility. Many articles are available in this field in which EPS is viewed only from one specific aspect. Other aspects have been introduced only by brief equations neglecting some main details regarding the important effects of ignored parts. Therefore, it is quite necessary to make a complete analysis of every part of this system with a right combination between them. It makes a comprehensive simulation system for EPS. This matter needs sufficient knowledge in mechanical, electrical and control sciences and how to assemble them with each other properly. Therefore, Mechatronic is the most appropriate branch of science to achieve this goal. In this paper, a complete model of EPS is presented which includes a 7-D.O.F mechanical model of steering system. A Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) is used to supply the assist torque to steering column. Vector Control Method is utilized for controlling the motor. A PID controller determines the reference assist torque value. The results are presented to estimate the model precision and evaluation of model.

Aiming at the characteristics of the all-electric logistics machines, the paper established the multi-disciplinary mathematical models of the electric power steering system (EPS) and set up a semi-physical simulation platform based on dSPACE for the multi-domain system of EPS. The robust control method was applied to improve the EPS system for the stable actual output of the EPS multi-domain system in the uncertainty. By the real-time semi-physical simulation, the control features of the improved EPS multi-domain system were analyzed so as to increase the robustness and adaptability of the EPS system.

As a tool of modeling the system of multiple energy, bond-graph theory is applied to the modeling for electric power steering system which is electromechanical hybrid. Bond graph models for C type, P type and R type of EPS dynamic system are built respectively. The CH7140 type of car equipped with C type EPS is taken as a prototype and its maneuverable performance is simulated under typical working conditions. A PID control method with time delay transfer function is adopted to imitate the driver’s operation. Steering maneuverability test of the CH7140 car is conducted. The simulation result is consistent with the test result. It is shown that the bond-graph model of EPS is rational, and simulation model derived from bond-graph is effective which can be applied to EPS and full vehicle steering maneuverability simulation research.
