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.

Background: All the time, the safety of vehicle has been valued by all the world's parties, whether it is now or in the future, the automobile safety issue is the hotspot and focus of the research by experts and scholars both at home and abroad. The continuous increase of car ownership brings convenience to people's life and it also poses a threat to people's life and property security. Objective: Vehicle active safety system is the. hotspot of current research and development, which plays an important role in automobile safety. Through the analysis of patents and references, understand the development of an active steering system.In order to improve the development efficiency of active steering system, the paper proposes a feedback control method of front wheel angle. Methods: Based on yaw velocity and center of mass side angle, the Active Front Steering (AFS)model is established respectively by fuzzy control and sliding mode control under the establishment of seven degrees of freedom vehicle dynamics model and Dug off tire model. Results: The simulation results show that both the control algorithm of sliding mode control and fuzzy control can improve the handling stability of vehicle steering on high adhesion coefficient road surface. On the low adhesion coefficient road, the control effect of slide mode control is more ideal while fuzzy control caused larger oversteer. Conclusion: The simulation results show that the control effect of sliding mode is superior to fuzzy control.
