How does electric power steering (EPS) enable ADAS steering functions?
Answer
EPS uses an electric motor (rather than hydraulic) to provide steering assist, enabling electronic control for ADAS. EPS enables: Lane keeping assist through applied steering torque; automatic parking with full steering control; evasive steering assist for collision avoidance; and driver override capability (always allowing driver to control). System architecture includes torque sensor (measuring driver input), motor control ECU, and high-performance motor. Safety requirements: Monitoring for unintended steering, torque limits, and graceful degradation. Functional safety considerations include redundant sensors and controllers for higher automation levels. EPS is essential enabler for automated steering functions.
