Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 A first embodiment of the invention is schematically depicted. Autonomous vehicle 10 generally includes a body 12 having a passenger compartment for transporting passengers. The vehicle 10 includes at least four wheels 14 each supporting a different end and a different side of the body; and a steering system 16 for steering steerable wheels 18 .

[0030] The commands to turn the autonomous vehicle 10 may all come from the host vehicle controller, which either detects the required turn, or uses a stored path and sends the commands for the turn accordingly. Alternatively, autonomous vehicle 10 can be controlled remotely and receive steering commands remotely.

[0031] The steering system 16 of the example embodiment steers two steerable wheels 18 via two actuators 20 . Each actuator 20 is connected at one end to the body 12 and at its movable end to a different one of the steerable wheels 18 . In an embodiment of the present invention, the steerable wheels 18...

Abstract

An autonomous vehicle for passengers comprises four steerable wheels where each steerable wheel is steered by a steering system having a set of two actuators. One actuator of each set of actuators is powered by a first power source while the other actuator of the set of powered by a second power source. Four controllers each control one actuator of each set of actuators and one actuator from another set of actuators.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to, or the benefit of, U.S. Patent Application 62 / 951,414, filed December 20, 2019, the entire specification of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of autonomous vehicles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a steer-by-wire steering system for autonomous vehicles with a high degree of redundancy and integrity. Background technique [0004] In the automotive field, especially with the advent of autonomous vehicles, steer-by-wire steering systems are increasingly being used. This type of steer-by-wire typically uses sensors to detect the rotation of the steering wheel and send a signal representing the detected rotation to an actuator that acts on the steering rack, which connects the steering wheels. [0005] In other types of autonomous vehicles, another version of the steer-by-wire sy...
