This thesis deals with the Electrohydraulic Power Steering system for road vehicles, using electronic pressure control valves. With an ever increasing demand for safer vehicles and fewer traffic accidents, steering-related active safety functions are becoming more common in modern vehicles. These are functions that aim at assisting the driver in more or less critical situations and could be anything from applying a guiding steering torque to taking over the steering completely. Future road vehicles will also evolve towards autonomous vehicles, with several safety, environmental and financial benefits. A key component in realising such solutions is active steering. This refers to the possibility to control the steering angle or steering torque with an electronic signal.The power steering system was initially developed to ease the driver's workload by assisting in turning the wheels. This is traditionally done through an open-centre hydraulic system and heavy trucks must still rely on fluid power, due to the heavy work forces. The system provides a robust solution but suffers from poor energy efficiency and lacks the possibility of active control. Since the purpose of the original system is to control the assistive pressure, one way would be to use proportional pressure control valves. Since these are electronically controlled, active steering is possible and with closed-centre, energy efficiency can be significantly improved on.In this work, such a system is analysed in detail with the purpose of investigating the possible use of the system for Boost curve control, the most common control strategy in power steering systems, and position control for autonomous driving. Commercially available valves are investigated since they provide an attractive solution. A model-based approach is adopted, where simulation of the system is an important tool. Detailed models at both a component level and a system level are developed and form the basis of the analysis and control design. Another important tool is hardware-in-the-loop simulation. A test rig of the system, that also includes the original system, is developed. The rig supports the modelling and validation process, as it also makes it possible to verify control concepts on a real system. This work has shown how proportional pressure control valves can be used for Boost curve control and position control and what implications this has i on a system level. As it turns out, the valves add a great deal of phase shift and with the high gain from the Boost curve, this creates a control challenge. The problem can be handled by tuning the Boost gain, pressure response and damping and has been effectively shown through simulation and experiments. For position control, there is greater freedom to design the controller to fit the system. The pressure response can be made fast enough for this case and the phase shift is much less critical.Keywords: Electrohydraulic power steering, pressure control, closed-centre steering, Boost curve control, autonomous driving, hardware-...
