Abstract:

This paper introduces the development of passenger car steering systems with electronic control.
Steering system is the operation device on vehicle with which the driver will get in touch the vehicle. Ergonomics
and drive safety should be taken into account in the development of vehicle steering system. Electronic control
of the steering system is a tendency of the development of passenger car technology and a basic way to
increasing the drive safety and comfort. This paper summarizes the structure and working principle of electric
power steering system, active front steering system, front wheel steer-by-wire system and rear wheel steer-bywire
system respectively in accordance with the progress history of electronically controlled steering systems.
Also, the paper sketches the key technologies, advantages and challenges to be faced of the above-mentioned
steering systems. Finally, it concludes that steer-by-wire system will be the development trend of electronic
control steering system from the point of view of concise construction, convenient layout and correcting driver’s
over operation.
