| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT Nowadays, a great development is occurring in the automotive systems due to introduction of electronics, which act as an integrated part with the mechanical system. The result of this integration appeared as an improvement in all phases of automotive functions as: driving performance, fuel efficiency, exhaust purification, safety & comfort. The objective of this research is to control electronically the steering in a vehicle with power steering system using a side-stick. To achieve this goal an electronically controlled module is proposed, realized and implemented on a steering system. This module is operated using a side stick and the necessary sensors and actuators which replaces the conventional steering wheel. An embedded controller is used as a control unit and the required interfacing circuits are designed and implemented. For investigation of the control system, a mathematical model is prepared. Finally the overall test rig is built-up and the control system testing showed a great benefit in modifying a conventional steering system to be electronically controlled. The simulation results agree to a great extent with the real test results. | ||
