The mathematical model of the ship autopilot system is established which centering on marine hydraulic steering gear, based on the Nomoto ship motion model, and considered the influence of wind, wave, flow and other environmental factors on ship course angle. Depend on this model, the physical-digital hybrid simulation autopilot simulator is developed. This simulator has all of the operating functions of the ship steering system, it can not only simulate the turbine engine working scenarios, but also dynamically display the operation process, and the simulator is applicable to the ship track control research and crew training work.

We focus on the antivibration controller design problem for electrical power steering (EPS) systems. The EPS system has significant advantages over the traditional hydraulic steering system. However, the improper motor controller design would lead to the steering wheel vibration. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the antivibration control strategy. For the implementation study, we also present the motor driver design and the software design which is used to monitor the sensors and the control signal. Based on the investigation on the regular assistant algorithm, we summarize the difficulties and problems encountered by the regular algorithm. After that, in order to improve the performance of antivibration and the human-like steering feeling, we propose a new assistant strategy for the EPS. The experiment results of the bench test illustrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed control strategy. Compared with the regular controller, the proposed antivibration control reduces the vibration of the steering wheel a lot.

This paper presents a mathematical model for multi-axle steering vehicles operating on level ground. For transporting heavy loads vehicles with multiple axles are required. Apart from added complexity steering of multiple axle for turning is a big challenge. Due to type of load being carried a single unit vehicle is sometimes preferred. The mathematical model of a six axle vehicle with 4-axle steering system is developed. Simulations at various track radii, vehicle speeds and steering ratios (ratio between the first, second, fifth and sixth steering axle) are performed. Axle steering angles and wheel slip angles are evaluated. The steering ratio requirements vary with vehicle speed and turn radius. A configuration is selected for better performance for a wider range. The resulting steering ratios show good vehicle maneuverability, stability and steering efficiency.

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.

A mathematical model of steering feel based on a hysteresis model is proposed for Steer-by-Wire systems. The normalized Bouc-Wen hysteresis model is used to describe the steering wheel torque feedback to the driver. By modifying the mathematical model of the hysteresis model for a steering system and adding custom parameters, the availability of adjusting the shape of steering feel model for various physical and dynamic conditions increases. Addition of a term about the tire dynamics to the steering feel model renders the steering wheel torque feedback more informative about the tire road interaction. Some simulation results are presented to establish the feasibility of the proposed model. The results of hardware-in-the-loop simulations show that the model provides a realistic and informative steering feel.
