Designed specifically for engineers who are evaluating or developing steer‑by‑wire systems, this 45‑minute session delivers practical, actionable guidance on selecting, designing, and validating Steer‑by‑Wire (SbW) architectures. Get in-depth information about market drivers, safety and regulatory requirements, software and controls, and Parker’s component solutions.
Key Topics Covered:
- Evolution and Applications of Steer-by-Wire in Off highway Machinery — potential adoption benefits: cost savings, productivity gains, and improved ergonomics
- Functional Safety for Steer-by-Wire Systems — functional safety requirements per ISO 13849 and ISO 5010, plus the V-model for software and controls development
- System Architecture Options for Steer-by-Wire — typical designs: Category 2 (fail-safe) and Category 3 (fail-functional) with associated redundancy and fault-handling trade-offs
- Key Steer-by-Wire Components — active/passive haptic feedback devices, mobile controllers, and steering valves
