Steer-by-wire innovations and demonstrator
conference paper
Arguments for 'by-wire' systems include production costs, packaging and traffic safety. Innovations concern both product and development process e.g. combined virtual engineering and Hardware-in-the-loop testing. Three Steer-by-wire systems are discussed: a steering system simulator used as a driving laboratory, a side-stick system for handicapped drivers and a XbW steering device. For all systems a similar control philosophy is used, based on the premise that to serve the normal driver a SbW controlled car should at least be able to match the normal car steering systems. This approach has been applied successfully, but challenges regarding controller robustness and system safety remain.
