    摘要: A method for passive damping in a steer-by-wire handwheel actuator includes selecting a number of windings for a motor of a handwheel actuator; shorting a subset of windings of the number of windings, each winding of the subset of windings being disposed at an obtuse angle from each other winding of the subset of windings; determining a resistance value for the motor; selectively adjusting the resistance value based on a number of windings associated with the subset of windings; and providing, in series with the subset of windings, at least one metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) configured to: vary the resistance associated with the subset of windings based on a vehicle speed; and tune a damping characteristic associated with the handwheel actuator.

    摘要: A method includes receiving, before a first time, a plurality of sensor values and identifying, based on the plurality of sensor values, a target vehicle in a blind zone of a host vehicle. The method also includes determining, at the first time, that the host vehicle is initiating a steering maneuver and identifying a plurality of time segments between the first time and a second time. The method also includes updating the plurality of sensor values and determining a heading angle of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle. The method also includes estimating a position of the target vehicle at each time segment of the plurality of time segments and estimating, using each position of the target vehicle at each corresponding time segment of the plurality of time segments, a position of the target vehicle at the second time.

    摘要: A no-back spring apparatus includes a body having an annular shape extending between an outer diameter and an inner diameter, the body comprising a first axial side and a second axial side, the second axial side including a flat portion extending from the inner diameter toward the outer diameter. The no-back spring apparatus also includes a plurality of retaining fingers circumferentially spaced from each other and integrally formed with the body and extending radially outwardly from the outer diameter. The no-back spring apparatus further includes a plurality of spring elements integrally formed with the body, each of the plurality of spring elements including a tab portion extending radially inwardly from the inner dimeter.

    摘要: A rotor coupling assembly for a power steering assist mechanism includes a rotor coupling having a first axial side and a second axial side. The rotor coupling assembly also includes a first rotor coupling adapter having a plurality of teeth extending into a corresponding plurality of windows defined by the rotor coupling on the first axial side of the rotor coupling. The rotor coupling assembly further includes a second rotor coupling adapter having a plurality of teeth extending into a corresponding plurality of windows defined by the rotor coupling on the second axial side of the rotor coupling.
