Development of an electronically-controlled power steering for passenger cars

승용차용 전자제어식 조향장치의 개발

This paper describes an Electronically-controlled Power Steering system which is developed by the modification of a conventional power steering based on so called rotary valve technology. The steering effort is influenced by the electrohydraulic flow rate control of the pressurized oil to rotary valve. The vehicle speed and the steering angular velocity are used to calculate and output a signal to proportional flow rate control valve by the Electronic Control Unit. The improvement of the steering feel was satisfactory compared with that of the original conventional power steering.
