Synopsis

While there are many advantages of electronic systems in automobiles, one significant savings lies where electrical and electronic components actually replace conventional mechanical and electromechanical components. Such is the case with electric power assisted steering systems, steer-by-wire, and active steering systems. 'Electronics Steering and Suspension Systems' is a collection of 64 technical papers containing research conducted in the last five years on the latest developments in these topics. The section on Electronic Steering Systems covers electro-hydraulic power steering, magnetic power steering, intelligent steering systems, active rear-steer systems, four-wheel steering systems, steer-by-wire, and multi-axle steering systems. The section on Electronic Suspension Systems covers active, passive, and semi-active suspension systems, electromagnetics, damper suspension, digital suspension control, and vibration and handling control systems. Many of the advancements discussed in these papers have yet to appear in production automobiles, or appear only in limited production high-end models.As electronic systems become more sophisticated and costs become more affordable, many of these advancements are likely to become available in mid-range production automobiles.
