Abstract
This project focuses on the steering angle control system of autonomous vehicles. Modern vehicles accommodates Electrical Power Assisted Steering. Such steering system includes a brushless DC (BLDC) motor to assist a steering force. Under normal operation, both the BLDC and the driver apply force on the steering wheel to position the vehicle.
In this project, we are aiming to develop steering control system that can be used in an autonomous vehicle. A test rack has been constructed to simulate wheel forces. A DSP based on MicroAutoBox system is used to demonstrate electronic control.
When the system has been tested on the test bench,steering unit will be assembled into the BMW vehicle.
