Dorrell3 Abstract An X-by-wire chassis can improve the kinematic characteristics of human-vehicle closed-loop system and thus active safety especially under emergency scenarios via enabling chassis coordinated control. This paper aims to provide a complete and systematic survey on chassis coordinated control methods for full X-by-wire vehicles, with the primary goal of summarizing recent reserch advancements and stimulating innovative thoughts. Driving condition identifca- tion including driver’s operation intention, critical vehicle states and road adhesion condition and integrated control of X-by-wire chassis subsystems constitute the main framework of a chassis coordinated control scheme. Under steer- ing and braking maneuvers, diferent driving condition identifcation methods are described in this paper. These are the trigger conditions and the basis for the implementation of chassis coordinated control. For the vehicles equipped with steering-by-wire, braking-by-wire and/or wire-controlled-suspension systems, state-of-the-art chassis coordi- nated control methods are reviewed including the coordination of any two or three chassis subsystems. Finally, the development trends are discussed. Keywords: X-by-wire systems, Chassis coordinated control,

  • The Design of a Controller for the Steer-By-Wire System∗
    896 The Design of a Controller for the Steer-by-Wire System∗ Se-Wook OH∗∗, Ho-Chol CHAE∗∗∗, Seok-Chan YUN∗∗ and Chang-Soo HAN∗∗∗∗ Drive-by-Wire (DBW) technologies improve conventional vehicle performance and a Steer-by-Wire (SBW) system is one of the DBW technologies. The control algorithm of the SBW system was designed in this paper. To verify the control algorithm, the SBW system is modeled using the bond graph method. The first aim of the control algorithm is controlling the steering wheel assist motor to make the real vehicle’s steering feel and for a vehicle designer to adjust the steering feel as he finds necessary. Therefore, torque map is designed to determine the steering wheel reactive torque. The second aim is controlling the front wheel assist motor to improve vehicle’s maneuverability and stability by using understeer and oversteer propensity of a vehicle. Furthermore, high performance control algorithm is proposed in this paper and Active Roll Stability Control (ARSC) method is designed as one of the high performance control algorithm. Key Words: Steer-by-Wire, Drive-by-Wire, Torque Map, Steering Feel, Active Roll Stabil- ity Control a vehicle’s weight by reducing the number of necessary 1.

    Installation Manual Product No. WH1212 2003-2007 LS TRUCK WITH T56 MT STANDALONE WIRING HARNESS, EV6, DRIVE-BY-WIRE WH1212: 2003-2007 LS TRUCK WITH T56 MT STANDALONE WIRING HARNESS, EV6, DRIVE-BY-WIRE This harness is designed to be a complete wiring harness for fuel injection system on GM 2003 and newer Vortec engines with Drive By Wire throttle body and T56 or non- electronic transmissions. 1. Never disconnect the battery or the PCM while the ignition is turned “ON” 2. Never short any wires in the wiring harness to ground (with the exception to the ground wires) this can cause damage to the PCM. 3. A Multi-meter with a minimum of 10-Mohm resistance is required for test circuits. Do not back probe wires, this can lead to permanent wire damage. Requirements: 1. All Vortec engines require VATS to be removed from the PCM. If the system is not removed from the PCM the engine will NOT start. 2. Vortec engine harness utilizes two oxygen sensors on each side of the engine, one before and after the catalytic converter. The rear O2 sensors (after the catalytic converter) are NOT used. 3. All Vortec engines utilize an EGR, Air Pump, and CCP features for emission control, this harness does not include provisions for EGR, Air Pump, and CCP are not necessary for engine operation. PCM programing may be necessary to avoid storing a Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) for the absence of emission equipment 4. It is recommended that you use a VSS when using a T56 or nonelectric transmission (TH350, TH400, Powerglide, 700R4, etc.).

In Proceedings of the 2019 IEEE Eurasia Conference on IOT, Communication and Engineering, Yunlin, Taiwan, 3–6 October 2019. Received: 31 December 2019; Accepted: 20 February 2020; Published: 23 February 2020 Abstract: This research mainly aims at the construction of the novel acceleration pedal, the brake pedal and the steering system by mechanical designs and mechatronics technologies, an approach of which is rarely seen in Taiwan. Three highlights can be addressed: 1. The original steering parts were removed with the fault tolerance design being implemented so that the basic steering function can still remain in case of the function failure of the control system. 2. A larger steering angle of the front wheels in response to a specific rotated angle of the steering wheel is devised when cornering or parking at low speed in interest of drivability, while a smaller one is designed at high speed in favor of driving stability. 3. The operating patterns of the throttle, brake, and steering wheel can be customized in accordance with various driving environments and drivers’ requirements using the self-developed software.
