In order to reduce steering energy consumption and improve steering feeling of heavy commercial vehicle, a novel electro-hydraulic compound steering system is proposed, which combines the function of electro-hydraulic power steering and electric power steering. The electro-hydraulic compound steering system dynamic model is established and the coordinated control strategy of dual actuators is proposed by analyzing the structure and dynamic characteristics of electro-hydraulic compound steering system. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the steering assist torque distribution, and an Elman neural network predictive controller with fuzzy compensation is designed to solve the nonlinear problem of the electro-hydraulic compound system. Finally, the simulation is carried out by using Amesim/Simulink. The simulation results show that the coordinated control strategy designed in this paper enables the electro-hydraulic compound steering system significantly better than the traditional electro-hydraulic power steering system in steering feeling and energy consumption.

Properly controlling electro hydraulic power steering system can improve steering performance. The relation of motor speed, vehicle speed and steering speed is gained, according to the influence of motor speed on the steering performance. The force and angle input is set in the driver input model. Rotary valve is simulated by four orifices. The steering resistance between tire and ground is simulated by the coulomb friction on two tips of the rack. The method of double closed-loops PID is used to control the motor. The influence of the control strategy on the steering performance is realized by the simulations of three typical situation, which includes steering portability, road feel, the speed of assist force response and its stability. The results of simulation validate the availability of the control strategy, which is the basic of optimization.

On of the practical difficulties of high speed automotive hydraulic power steering is that the output exceeds the actual demands of the system, i.e., there is a substantial power loss. This paper discusses the configuration and the action principle of a new variable displacement of double-action vane pump, which consists of floating blocks. The pump belongs to an automotive hydraulic power steering system, and prosperous utilization is expected. In the meantime the mathematical and simulation model for hydraulic power steering of automobile were established and the Matlab Simulink simulation model was presented. Different parameters of pump are selected in simulating programming. The simulating results are analyzed and compared.

Conventional hydraulic steering system has the problems of "low-speed heavy, high-speed flight" and energy-wasting when steering, the main reason is after the system is designed, the power characteristics are fixed. To solve this problem it is necessary to achieve the power characteristics of changing power steering system according to speed of vehicles, in order to offer the power that matches the speed. Using vehicle speed sensor signal to control pilot solenoid unloading valve to regulate the pressure of hydraulic system, can achieve the regulation of power characteristics, this article is based on such idea to design variable hydraulic power steering system for hydraulic power steering system of light trucks.
