Abstract:
This research paper explores advancements in electric power steering (EPS) systems, focusing on electronic control strategies that enhance vehicle performance and energy efficiency. EPS has become a crucial technology in modern vehicles, offering significant benefits over traditional hydraulic systems, including reduced energy consumption and greater integration potential with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This study examines the evolution of steering systems, highlighting the transition from manual to hydraulic and eventually to EPS, as well as the key components and architecture of modern EPS systems.The paper further delves into innovative control algorithms, such as model-based, adaptive, and robust control strategies, which contribute to precise steering control and improved driving experience. In addition, it discusses performance enhancement techniques, including variable steering ratio and disturbance rejection, alongside energy-efficient motor control techniques and power-on-demand strategies that optimize system efficiency.Finally, this paper addresses the integration of EPS with ADAS and autonomous driving technologies, reliability and fault-tolerance measures, and the challenges and future trends shaping the next generation of steering systems. Through an analysis of current research and industry developments, this study provides a comprehensive overview of EPS technology and its future prospects.
