Delphi Active Rear Steering for Passenger Cars
Delphi Active Rear Steering for Passenger Cars is a lightweight, low-angle system specifically designed to provide an affordable rear-steering system. It is suitable for sport-utility vehicles and other larger passenger vehicles.
Benefits
Dynamic control algorithms allow vehicle manufacturers to "dial in" desired handling characteristics
Helps balance ride and handling performance with improved vehicle dynamics, or active safety
Helps minimize oversteer and understeer at all speeds and on all surfaces without slowing the vehicle
When integrated with controlled braking, Active Rear Steering can provide a more effective stability enhancement option than brakes alone
Helps deliver instantaneous rear steering control and blended braking as needed
Helps minimize any slowing of the vehicle, making corrective action less noticeable to the driver
Vehicle stopping distances on split and mixed coefficient surfaces can be reduced
Maintains traditional front-wheel steering benefits
Reduces vehicle’s turn circle for added maneuverability during city driving or parking
Can be configured with unique algorithms for improved handling and safety when trailering
Low-cost, lightweight, and modular actuator can be used with a variety of suspension configurations
Automatic safety system instantly returns vehicle to two-wheel steering if four-wheel system is damaged
