Input and output steering control modules arbitrate role assignment to optimize redundant usage, ensuring system availability despite module failures.
A steering system locking bar deforms plastically to dissipate crash impact energy through controlled structural bending.
Reactive torque motor resists steering wheel rotation before rack shaft reaches movable end, reducing clutch operating noise and extending durability.
Closed-loop feedback system detects trailer drift during straight-line backing and adjusts steering commands to maintain alignment without manual intervention.
Direct signal paths bypass failed controllers to maintain steering continuity while reducing system complexity and cost.
Electronic control system modifies steering parameters when one mechanism fails, suppressing turning ability loss without mechanical coupling.
A steering control device computes a mode determination value to adjust assist torque levels during driver operations.
