Advanced Chassis Control Technology for Steer-By-Wire Vehicles

Advanced Chassis Control Technology for Steer-by-Wire Vehicles details state-of-the-art drive-by-wire technology, enabling engineers to create safer and smarter steering technology. With applications in Formula 1 driving, this book is an accessible yet ambitious introduction to the technology that is fast becoming the future of road vehicles.Steer-by-wire systems replace conventional mechanical technology with electronic sensors, controllers, and actuators, enhancing functionality when steering. Features such as variable steer ratio, customized road feel, and advanced vehicle dynamics control all ensure that this maximizes safety when driving. The book looks first at the theory behind this technology and compares it to conventional mechanical steering. It discusses control through forward and backward dynamics and a shared steering control concept to improve vehicle handling and performance, relevant to intelligent vehicles. It also explains how to create chassis domain fusion control, four independent wheels steering system and teleoperated control. Using case studies and ISOs, the book is a practical guide to safely designing steer-by-wire systems.The book is an essential guide to all engineers working in the modern automotive industry.
