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.

At first, implement a Spring Test Bench and build the communication with EPS, MicroautoBox and PC.

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 ControlDesk based on MicroAutoBox system is used to demonstrate electronic control.

After the Spring Test Bench was tested successfully,the steering unit which is the EPS will be assembled into the BMW vehicle.

Objects

  • Development of a steering angle control
  • Implementation of the EPS on the testbench
  • Complete the communication with EPS using the MicroAutoBox
  • Implementation of steering rack controller on the test bench
  • Achieve accurate angle controlling
