Influence of EPS on the steering system

Fachtagung für Experten aus dem Bereich Steering Systems. Themenschwerpunkte sind die Auswirkungen der ISO 26262 und die Entwicklungen im Bereich EPS. Die Konferenz wird auf Englisch abgehalten.

Electrical power steering (EPS) shows increasing importance. Having been introduced in middle-size passenger cars, EPS is now reaching for larger vehicles and SUV market. However, a lot of questions remain: The introduction of ISO 26262 for all functional safety systems constitutes a main challenge. In addition, the realization of an optimal steering feel remains an issue. And the search is for additional functionalities EPS is enabling. Finally, the question is whether we need something like a standard for EPS architecture and concepts.
