Abstract
Electric power steering (EPS) systems assist the driver during manoeuvres by applying an additional steering torque generated by an electric motor. Although there are many advantages for electric actuated steering systems including fuel efficiency, they are known to deteriorate the feel of the steering as experienced by the driver. This paper presents a sliding mode observer based estimation concept which provides signals to evaluate and improve perception and feel of the steering as experienced by the driver. The proposed strategy is based on a physically motivated dynamic model of a power steering system and the measurements considered are typically available in any modern vehicle. The performance of the estimator is investigated using numerical simulation as well as experimental results obtained using a laboratory steering testbed.
