Application: Driving dynamics

 

The steering-angle sensor basically consists of a non-contact angle-measuring device or resistive tracks and wipers. The sensor, which is designed a hollow shaft, is normally mounted on the steering column or at the steering gear. Today adaptive control systems contribute significantly to increasing driving safety in motor vehicles. These types of control systems improve the transversal dynamic behavior and assist the driver in critical steering maneuvers, e.g. when veering quickly or passing.
