Torque Overlay Automated Steering Technology (TOAST)
Partners: Titan Motorsport & Automotive Engineering Limited (Lead), Alexander Dennis Limited, TRL Limited.
Titan, Alexander Dennis and TRL will work together at their sites in St Neots, Farnborough and Crowthorne to develop and demonstrate an electric steering system for bus and other heavy commercial vehicle applications.
An approach will be developed that provides a flexible and cost-effective approach to enabling innovative low volume manufacturers to bring autonomous steering features to market quickly and safely.
Advanced safety features will be designed-in from the start and verified through laboratory and proving ground testing with the aim of creating a system that is capable of supporting up to Level 5 autonomy.
A new electric steering system will be designed and manufactured that augments the conventional hydraulic power steering of the demonstrator bus. Taking commands from an automated driver system, this electric steering system will be capable of controlling the steering and providing a level of assistance in case the hydraulic system should fail.
This prototype electric steering system will be fitted to an advanced autonomous-capable bus to create a mobile testbed, enabling the capabilities to be thoroughly tested and demonstrated. Demonstrations are planned for spring 2025.
