The objective of this thesis is to develop simulation-based design strategies for optimizing the selection of active, semi-active, and passive components for industrial steer-by-wire (SBW) applications.Experimental steering data is collected from an instrumented Honda Accord (1987 model) and used to validate a lateral vehicle model.This model is used to investigate the tactile feedback performance of various SBW configurations at specific driving conditions.Although peak performance is obtained with fully active components (direct-drive electric motors), comparable performance can be obtained using a combination of passive springs, semi-active dampers, and active motors with a 16.3% reduction in cost and an 87.7% reduction in electrical energy required.
