Modular system architecture for steer-by-wire solutions in a wide range of vehicle types
)
ME Mobil Elektronik is a leading supplier of steer-by-wire steering systems for commercial on- and off-road vehicles. Its solutions provide the highest safety standards according to ASIL D, are customizable and offer approval for public road traffic. The latest cybersecurity standards ensure the long-term sustainability of ME Mobil Elektronik’s systems.
An important issue for redundant steer-by-wire systems is the energy sources available in the vehicle – the basis for high availability. Vehicles with a combustion engine as their main energy source differ significantly from electrified vehicles in this respect. ME Mobil Elektronik offers the right steer-by-wire solution for both supply concepts.
The company’s approach includes proportional-hydraulic actuators for use with a motor-driven hydraulic pump, as well as electrohydraulic compact actuators with an electric power supply. The combination of these two technologies – hydraulic/hydraulic, hydraulic/electric or electric/electric – in redundant systems enables flexible adaptation to the respective supply architecture of the vehicle.
For vehicle manufacturers that offer electrified and ICE vehicles, these scaling options represent a decisive added value.
