Abstract

Vehicle steering system determines the direction of a vehicle. A manual steering system consists of mechanical connections between the steering wheel and tires. Recent power steering system adds an actuator to help a driver to steer easily at low speed. However, at front collision, the driver can be injured by steering shaft and the power steering pump decreases the engine power. To solve these problems, electronic power steering system which connects the steering wheel and tires with electronic connection is proposed, that has advantages such as decrease of engine load and increase of driver safety reactive. Since the ratio between driver's steering torque and steering torque of tires can be controlled freely, the torque which is delivered from the road to the driver through tires and steering wheel can be reshaped to make the driver feel comfortable. In this paper, the ratio of delivering steering torque and the magnitude of force to be delivered from road to driver has been controlled using fuzzy controller, and it's effectiveness has been shown through simulation results.
