79 results about "Steering ratio" patented technology

Steering ratio refers to the ratio between the turn of the steering wheel (in degrees) or handlebars and the turn of the wheels (in degrees). The steering ratio is the ratio of the number of degrees of turn of the steering wheel to the number of degrees the wheel(s) turn as a result. In motorcycles, delta tricycles and bicycles, the steering ratio is always 1:1, because the steering wheel is fixed to the front wheel. A steering ratio of x:y means that a turn of the steering wheel x degree(s) causes the wheel(s) to turn y degree(s). In most passenger cars, the ratio is between 12:1 and 20:1. For example, if one complete turn of the steering wheel, 360 degrees, causes the wheels to turn 24 degrees, the ratio is then 360:24 = 15:1.

Collaborative steering in steer-by-wire systems for automated driving

A system for collaborative steering in steer-by-wire (SBW) vehicles includes sensors, a rack motor altering a position of the vehicle's steerable road wheels and an emulator altering a torque and position of a vehicle hand wheel. A collaborative steering system application (CSSA) obtains, static and dynamic information about the vehicle and the vehicle's environment, and generates a rack torque and / or angle command to the rack motor and an emulator torque and / or angle command to the emulator. The CSSA adjusts between ADAS and manual steering ratios and automatically transitions control between ADAS SBW control and manual control. The CSSA smooths transitions between ADAS SBW control and manual steering control and adjusts hand wheel stiffness by altering the emulator torque command, and causes the rack motor and emulator to operate according to a kinematic model while adapting road wheel response and vehicle operator steering feel based on scenarios and features currently enabled.
