Intelligent Electric Power Steering System

Electric cars, as well as an increasing number of internal combustion vehicles, are adopting electric power steering (EPS) systems. These systems offer precise steering control and provide sensitive feedback to the driver.

This project focuses on the design of a new electric power steering system. The proposed system can be integrated into a standard rack-and-pinion mechanism or a similar setup. It will consist of a motor, control system, torque measurement unit, coupling, and other necessary components.

The control unit should be intelligent, with the potential use of AI to optimize torque output based on key operational variables such as vehicle speed, yaw rate, and steering input speed. A comparison with existing EPS technologies will be conducted, while also considering automotive industry standards.

The scope of work includes mechanical design, development of intelligent control algorithms, torque sensor design, system experimentation, and prototype manufacturing.
