Power steering is now offered in a few different ways; hydraulic, electrical, and more recently, drive-by-wire. Types of Power Steering Power steering is either hydraulic, electronic, or electro-hydraulic. Drive-by-wire is a variation of electrical power steering.

While servicing wheels and tires may seem purely mechanical, the role of sensors and electronic systems that monitor tire pressure and wheel speed has grown significantly. Cybersecurity is crucial to protect the integrity of the communication between these sensors and the vehicle’s electronic control units (ECUs).

Where It Started: Hydraulic ARBs ARBs were introduced in the mid-to-late 1990s in some European vehicles. Hydraulic ARBs use hydraulic fluid to apply torsional force against the roll bar ( Figure 2 ). This is similar in principle to how hydraulic power steering systems apply force to the steering gear to provide steering assist.

More regenerative braking increases the amount of electrical charge generated for the hybrid battery, at the same time it produces more drag to slow down the vehicle. Some hybrid systems apply the hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Of course, at a stop or near-stop, the friction is applied to stop the vehicle from rolling.

It could be a Chevy pickup truck with active dampeners and air ride or a Mercedes S-Class with ABC hydraulic dampeners. These systems include hydraulic, magnetic and air-ride systems. The torsion bar is controlled by hydraulic pressure using a hydraulic servomechanism.

To avoid damage and possible fires, engineers have devised two strategies that can be called the “immune system” for the electrical system. A fuse is an electrical safety device that provides over-current protection of an electrical circuit. Fuses The most basic protection is a fuse.
