OEM & TIER 1 PERSPECTIVES ON THE REAL VALUE OF STEER-BYWIRE TECHNOLOGY

With steer-by-wire solutions requiring more complex control systems and sensors, high cost is a key issue for the industry. As steer-by-wire is notably more expensive for the industry, what do OEMs and tier 1s see as the real value-add of SbW systems for the customer?

Join industry experts as they address key questions surrounding the commercial viability of steer-by-wire technology, with the end goal of evaluating the impact that SbW systems have on functionality and performance.

• Discuss the real value-add of steer-by-wire for the customer.
• Share OEM and Tier-1 perspectives on the key factors influencing market penetration of steer-by-wire systems.
• Gain insight into the commercial viability of increased complexity in the steering system.
• Learn how to create better customer experience with SbW technology.

SHARE SOLUTIONS FOR EARLY FAILURE DETECTION IN STEER-BYWIRE SYSTEMS

LEARN HOW OEMS & TIER-1S ARE MEETING FUNCTIONAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

As the industry progresses with electrification and autonomy, meeting functional safety requirements is becoming increasingly challenging. Suppliers are struggling to meet OEM requirements for functional safety, and complexity in the steering system is increasing what considerations are needed to ensure safe product development.

• Understand OEM requirements for functional safety.
• Discuss challenges in failure mode analysis for autonomous steering systems.
• Explore the benefits of increased collaboration between OEMs and suppliers to define vehicle safety concepts.
• Learn how to meet industry safety standards at an effective cost level.
• Discuss developments for implementing additional safety mechanisms in the steering system for ISO 26262 compliance.
• Share insight into the impact of VDA standards for maximising functional safety of steer-by-wire systems.

DISCUSSION 1: DISCUSS HOW TO ENSURE CYBER SECURITY FOR STEERING SYSTEMS

DISCUSSION 2: UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF SOFTWARE IN STEER-BY-WIRE

ROADMAP FOR EPS INTEGRATION IN ELECTRIC COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

For heavy-duty vehicles, the technical realisation of an EPS system is completely different from passenger cars. As vehicle weight increases, new solutions are required to handle steering in 3.5 tonne EV trucks.

In this session, a subject matter expert will delve into the opportunities and challenges with developing an EPS system for heavy-duty vehicles, followed by a wider audience discussion looking at what OEMs and Tier-1s can do to achieve these goals.

• Discuss OEM strategies to integrate EPS systems into commercial EVs.
• Understand the differences in the technical realisation of EPS in commercial vehicles compared to passenger vehicles.
• Explore the benefits of implementing electrical steering systems in heavy-duty vehicles.
• Find out and assess current industry targets for increased rack force in commercial vehicles.
• Discover solutions to increase existing EPS redundancy for heavier vehicles.
