Analysis of Energy Effort in Terms of Changes in Stiffness and Damping of Tire Wheels and Low Car Speed
2024
Overview
This paper presents the results of a study on the effects of low car speeds and the elastic-damping properties of tires on steering effort. “Steering effort” is a measure of the demand/energy consumption of the power steering system that limits the force applied by the driver to the steering wheel. Low driving speeds, on the other hand, are characteristic of urban traffic, where we would like to see as many electric cars moving as possible. An increase in “driver effort” means a higher electricity consumption and shorter car range. In this study, energy intensity was evaluated for a typical maneuver such as a double lane change. For this purpose, measurements were made of the torque on the steering wheel, the speed of the car, and the lateral accelerations acting on the car. A torque wheel, an optoelectronic sensor for measuring the components of the car’s motion, and an acceleration sensor were used for the study. The test subjects were two passenger cars with hydraulic power steering systems. The tests were carried out for four values of air pressure in the tires. This made it possible to determine four work charts for each wheel. The work charts made it possible to identify the stiffness and damping coefficients of the tires for the tested cars. The values of the coefficients were used to determine the correlation between the directional coefficient of the regression lines of the skeletal axes of the elastic and damping characteristics and the index determining steering effort.
