METHOD OF CONTROLLING STEERING OF A GROUND VEHICLE

摘要

A method of controlling steering of a vehicle through setting wheel angles of a plurality of modular electronic corner assemblies (eModules) is provided. The method includes receiving a driving mode selected from a mode selection menu. A position of a steering input device is determined in a master controller. A velocity of the vehicle is determined, in the master controller, when the determined position of the steering input device is near center. A drive mode request corresponding to the selected driving mode to the plurality of steering controllers is transmitted to the master controller. A required steering angle of each of the plurality of eModules is determined, in the master controller, as a function of the determined position of the steering input device, the determined velocity of the vehicle, and the selected first driving mode. The eModules are set to the respective determined steering angles.

1. A method of controlling steering of a vehicle through setting wheel angles of a plurality of modular electronic corner assemblies (eModules), the method comprising:
receiving a driving mode selected from a mode selection menu; determining, in a master controller, a position of a steering input device; determining, in the master controller, a velocity of the vehicle when the determined position of the steering input device is near center; transmitting a drive mode request corresponding to the driving mode to a plurality of steering controllers; determining, in the master controller, a required steering angle of each of the plurality of eModules as a function of the determined position of the steering input device, the determined velocity of the vehicle, and the driving mode; and setting the eModules to the respective determined steering angles.
