Abstract Incorporation of electronic yaw stabilization in on-road vehicles can take many forms. Although the most popular ones are differential braking and torque distribution, a potentially better alternative would be the inclusion of a controller into the steering process. However, this is not often pursued in mechanically-coupled steering systems since the controller could work against the driver’s intentions creating potential challenges to safety. The growing adoption of steer-by-wire (SbW) systems now in autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicles offers an opportunity to simplify the incorporation of such steering-controller based assistance. Most current steering-assistance systems focus either on adaptive steering control (adaptive power steering and gear ratios) or on total steering control in autopilot functions (lane keeping control). Such steering-controllers (incorporated via SbW modality) can improve driving performance and maneuverability and contribute to the overall suite of active-safety vehicle systems. In this study, we introduce a new pure-feedforward (open loop) controller for the steer-by-wire system based on the concept of reference shaping control aimed at reducing the vibration/oscillation caused in vehicles during fast (evasive) maneuvers.

In order to solve the problem of road feel feedback of vehicle steer-by-wire (SBW) system based on joystick, a road feel control strategy was established to analyze the road feel theory of traditional steer system, which included return, assist and damp control module. By verifying the computer simulation results with the control strategy from software of CarSim and Matlab/Simulink, it shows that the proposed strategy can effective get road feel in different vehicle speed conditions and could improve the vehicle maneuverability to achieve desired steering feel by different drivers.

Abstract Nowadays, the automobile industry is gradually developing towards the trend of electrification and intelligence. Compared with the traditional steering system, the steer-by-wire system cancels the mechanical transmission structure, reduces the space utilization, reduces the probability of damage to the driver caused by the steering system in the collision accident, and improves the driving portability and enhances the driver’s handling experience. The road feeling feedback of steer-by-wire system has the greatest impact on the driver’s driving experience. This paper discusses the research methods of road feeling feedback of steer-by-wire system, introduces the basic structure of road feeling feedback of steer-by-wire system, the basic idea of dynamic modeling, the establishment of simulation model of road feeling feedback, and the establishment method of control strategy and simulation platform of road feeling feedback. Finally, it summarizes and prospects in order to provide basic information and perspectives for the development and research of steer-by-wire system.
