Steering angle sensor for motor vehicle steering wheel for use as part of traction dynamic control system

摘要

Fitted to the steering shaft (10) are two acceleration sensors (13,14) positioned on a circle around its axis of rotation (12) at 900 to one another. Acceleration signals from these sensors can be processed to provide the steering angle. Further acceleration sensors fitted to the steering column in the same relative positions can be processed to provide correction factors for e.g. centrifugal acceleration when following curves
