On-Center Steering Model for Realistic Steering Feel based on Real Measurement Data 2024-01-2994
Driving simulators allow the testing of driving functions, vehicle models and acceptance assessment at an early stage. For a real driving experience, it's necessary that all immersions are depicted as realistically as possible. When driving manually, the perceived haptic steering wheel torque plays a key role in conveying a realistic steering feel. To ensure this, complex multi-body systems are used with numerous of parameters that are difficult to identify. Therefore, this study shows a method how to generate a realistic steering feel with a nonlinear open-loop model which only contains significant parameters, particularly the friction of the steering gear. This is suitable for the steering feel in the most driving on-center area. Measurements from test benches and real test drives with an Electric Power Steering (EPS) were used for the Identification and Validation of the model. The open-loop architecture on steering rack level shows adequate results and generate a nearly delay-free response of the expected steering torque. Further it allows the expansion to a closed-loop or a hybrid model with neural networks. This makes it particularly suitable for force feedback systems in driving simulators or Steer-By-Wire Systems.
