Fault Tolerance in Power Steering Systems (EPS): A Review for steer-by-wire systems
Abstract Among the X-by-Wire innovations, Steer-by-Wire (SbW) emerges as the game-changer poised to radically alter the car industry. An SbW system comprises electronic control units, sensors, and steering aid motors, offering the capability to replace a car's mechanical steering column links. However, before SbW systems can be widely adopted, several challenges need to be addressed. Two of the most critical ones are system reliability and fault tolerance. While Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) has been extensively researched, fault diagnosis and fault tolerance in SbW systems have received less attention. 1. Introduction Most of our everyday mobility needs are met by automobiles. It is challenging to limit the frequency of fatal accidents due to the rising number of cars and the increasing need for mobility without adequate preventive measures. The greatest cause of death among those aged 15–29 is traffic accidents, which account for over 3,287 deaths per day glo...
