Steering Initiations TRIZ Cases
- Automatic Boat Docking via Existing Joystick Controller
Automatic docking uses existing joystick controls to avoid complex boat-specific setup.
- Boat Propulsion Angle Alignment for Stable Steering Transitions
A controller aligns multiple propulsion devices for thrust cancellation before steering-mode thrust changes, stabilizing transitions.
- Boat Propulsion Steering Patterns to Prevent Propeller Interference
A controller detects steering angles and selects non-interfering turning patterns for closely positioned boat propulsion devices.
- Boat Propulsion Output Balancing for Accurate Steering
Output sensors detect propulsion differences, allowing automatic correction for accurate steering without manual adjustment.
- Joystick-Controlled Automatic Docking for Simplified Boat Setup
The docking system reuses the joystick propulsion controller to reduce boat-specific setup and tuning for automatic docking.
- Multi-Propulsion Boat Steering Correction for Unintended Turning
Sensors detect unintended boat turning, and the controller adjusts propulsion angles to maintain the intended path despite wind or tide.
- Ship Remote Control Display Rotation for Light Reflection
A vertical-axis rotatable display adapts to light reflection, installation tilt, and operator position on ship propulsion controls.
- Dual-Drive Outboard Motor Steering for Extended Angle Ranges
A rack-and-pinion steering mechanism switches hydraulic and electric drives to widen steering angles without added motor size.
- Foot-Actuated Boat Steering and Propulsion Control
Electronic sensors translate foot pedal movements into precise propeller angle and thrust commands, replacing complex mechanical linkages.
- Electric Power Steering Inertia Compensation with Frequency Dependent Damping
A control module calculates filter coefficients using frequency dependent damping and inertia compensation to generate a motor command.
- Steer by Wire Control System Using Velocity-Adaptive Error Correction
A steer by wire control system processes handle position and steering element signals to generate precise steering commands.
- Vehicle-Trailer Stability Control via Hitch Rate Feedback
Feedback controller mitigates jackknifing by applying trailer braking forces when yaw rate deviations exceed thresholds.
- Lane Keeping Torque Control for Unsignaled Lane Changes
A lane keeping system detects vehicle position discontinuities during unsignaled lane changes to disable abrupt torque corrections.
- Lane Keeping Assist System Using Multiple Target Routes
A lane keeping assist system generates multiple target routes to calculate corresponding target yaw rates for vehicle steering control.
- Steering Angle Determination for Articulated Vehicle Reversing
Calculates optimal steering angles for tractor-trailer reversing via feedback control, eliminating manual sequencing of steering locks.
- Joystick Ship Handling Device with Mode Switching
Ship handling joystick lever controls forward-backward propellers and lateral thrusters through a dedicated mode switching mechanism.
