Fully redundant intelligent steering system | Deco Intelligent Control confirms application for 2024 Golden Edition Award

Application technology丨Fully redundant intelligent steering system

Application field: Intelligent chassis

Unique advantages:

Hardware breakthroughs Actuator breakthroughs use advanced six-phase dual redundant motor control strategy design as the actuator, which has significantly improved the power output stability, reliability and response speed compared to traditional steering actuators. Sensors are innovatively configured with a variety of high-precision redundant sensors (such as steering angle sensors, etc.), and these sensors can verify each other and work together to improve the accuracy and reliability of data. It can adapt to more complex and harsh working environments and reduce the risk of steering system failure caused by sensor failure. Software and algorithm breakthroughs Real-time monitoring and rapid switching Advanced fault monitoring and diagnosis software system monitors and analyzes the status of each part of the hardware in real time. Once a fault is detected, it can switch to the redundant backup system in a very short time to ensure the steering safety of the vehicle during driving. Multiple mode fusion algorithms For systems that support both unmanned driving mode and manual mode, its mode switching algorithm can achieve seamless, flexible and fast switching between different modes. The optimized steering control algorithm can achieve high-precision (such as steering wheel angle 0.1° accuracy) steering angle and steering force control. System integration breakthroughs Highly integrated systems integrate many redundant components and functions, reducing the size and weight of the system, while reducing system complexity and cost (compared to the patchwork of multiple independent redundant systems). Strong compatibility It can efficiently collaborate and interact with other autonomous driving systems of the vehicle (such as perception system, decision-making system, braking system, etc.), and improve the intelligence level and safety of the whole vehicle. 2. Filling domestic gaps In terms of technical gaps, China lacked mature fully redundant intelligent steering system technical solutions and products before, especially related products that meet L3 and above autonomous driving levels. Independently develop and design and master the core components (motors, sensors, control units, mechanical deceleration mechanisms, etc.) technology to break the foreign technology monopoly and barriers. Filling the gap in application scenarios provides a feasible steering solution for many emerging application scenarios in China (such as unmanned logistics vehicles, unmanned sweepers, unmanned patrol vehicles and other low-speed scenarios, as well as future L3 and above passenger car scenarios). It makes it unnecessary for China to completely rely on foreign technology and products in these emerging industries, providing an independent and controllable foundation for industrial development. 3. High industry shortage In terms of demand for the development of autonomous driving As autonomous driving develops to a higher level, the reliability and safety requirements of the steering system have reached an unprecedented level. The fully redundant intelligent steering system is a key component to ensure the safety of autonomous driving. Many autonomous driving R&D projects and car companies are in urgent need of such a high-reliability steering system to promote project progress and product implementation. Regulations drive the future safety regulations for autonomous vehicles to be further improved and tightened, which will prompt vehicle manufacturers to accelerate the demand and layout of fully redundant intelligent steering systems. The market has great potential. Whether in the domestic or global market, the demand for intelligent steering systems, especially fully redundant intelligent steering systems, will show a rapid growth trend in the next few years, while the current market supply capacity is limited and in short supply. Industry transformation needs In the process of the traditional automotive industry's transformation to intelligent networking, the fully redundant intelligent steering system is one of the key technical support points, and there are currently few companies in the industry that can provide mature solutions, which makes its shortage in the industry prominent.

Application scenarios:

1. Autonomous driving passenger cars In autonomous driving passenger cars of level L3 and above, the vehicle is guaranteed to have reliable steering capabilities in complex traffic environments and various emergencies to ensure the safety of passengers. 2. Autonomous driving logistics vehicles are used for long-distance or intra-city logistics distribution. Since logistics vehicles usually need to run for a long time and at high load, the fully redundant design can reduce the risk of cargo delays and losses caused by steering failures. 3. Unmanned buses provide higher safety guarantees for the travel of a large number of passengers, ensuring that buses run stably and reliably on fixed routes. 4. Special operation vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances. In emergency rescue missions, any steering failure may lead to serious consequences. The fully redundant intelligent steering system can ensure that the vehicle arrives at the rescue site quickly and accurately. 5. Unmanned vehicles in mining areas The road conditions in mining areas are harsh, and the reliability requirements of the steering system are extremely high. The fully redundant intelligent steering system can adapt to harsh working conditions and ensure the normal operation of the vehicle. 6. Unmanned vehicles in ports are used for operations such as container transportation in ports, ensuring stable steering in the busy traffic environment of the port, and improving operation efficiency and safety.
