Steer-by-wire system can improve the performance of vehicle handling stability. Removing the mechanical linkages between the front wheels and the steering wheel leads to a key technique of force feedback for steer-by-wire system. In view of the characteristic of variable torque transmission ratio for steer-by-wire system, this paper proposes a method for designing torque ratio based on the steering wheel torque characteristic for steer-by-wire system. It converts the torque ratio design into equivalent assist torque design by analyzing their relationship. It achieves the torque ratio design at different conditions based on the negative equivalent assist torque characteristic curve. Simulations and vehicle experiments are conducted by the proposed method, and the results show that the design goal has been achieved and the steering wheel torque characteristic obtained is very similar to that of the reference car.

This paper presents an evaluation of dead band in force feedback which affects on driving precision with Steer-by-Wire System by using Driving Simulator. Dead band is considered as a zero zone of a relation between Force feedback torque and hand wheel angle. Experimental was designed to focus on dead band size from 0 to ±10 degrees of Force feedback model. The result has shown that the driver has the best driving precision with dead band size of ±4 to ±6 degrees.

Safety and reliability are requirements of automobile steer by wire system. Firstly, steering force feedback subsystem of steer by wire is designed. Design of steer by wire system mechanical parts must consider effects of automobile vibration environment. Then, worm of worm drive speed reducer is modeled using ANSYS software and modal analysis is performed. Natural frequencies and vibration mode contour maps of each order are acquired. The results show that the modal analysis of worm is valid and can predict worm’s vibration performance; both structure and material affect the part’s vibration performances.

Improvement of comfort functionalities is an important distinguishing mark for competitiveness of automotive manufactures. The utilization of rotary MR actuators offers several new comfort functionalities. As an example an entry assist function is described in the following, where a rotary MR actuator is used for motion control of vehicle doors. Another possible application is force feedback generation for a steer-by-wire system. Furthermore a modeling method for eddy current phenomena is proposed, which can be used for optimizing the response time of MR actuators.

Most of the common road accidents are due to the driver’s inappropriate behavior, lack of attention, tiredness, and road conditions which usually cause the vehicle to deviate from the roadway or crash into others. Although, thanks to the Steer-by-Wire system, recent research showed that is now possible to enhance vehicles’ manipulability and users’ safety by stimulating the drivers to react efficiently in common and critical situations. This paper describes a new strategy to assist the driver in his trajectories’ planning on a multiple-lane highway. A driving assistant is here designed to give appropriate and continuous tactile feedbacks generated from a virtual force field present in the roadway’s environment. First, the assistant algorithm global structure is presented. Then, a road condition dependant virtual force field based driving input is designed in order to avoid road deviations as well as to enhance safety in presence of potentially dangerous road conditions, as lack of adherence and visibility. The performance of the system is evaluated firstly through preliminary simulations, and then confirmed on a driving simulator.
