Additional information
This research resulted in an innovative technology for an automotive steering system called ‘Semi-Active Steering System’. The advantage of this system is similar to a conventional electrical power assisted steering with the replacement of the rigid steering shaft with a low stiffness resilient shaft, the presence of which allows ‘active control’ to be performed on vehicles similar to the concept of full steer-by-wire (SBW). But, unlike SBW, the advantage of the proposed system is that it is an integral part of the system characteristics. Using this system the vehicle stability and drivability is ensured in the event of the failure of the active system.
