Most commercial vehicles have adopted the hydraulic power steering system. To reduce fuel consumption and to improve steering controllability, a hybrid electric power steering system is being developed for commercial vehicles. In this study, the HILS (Hardware In the Loop Simulation) system equipped with a commercial vehicle hybrid electric power steering system was developed and the vehicle dynamic performance of a truck with the steering system was evaluated. The hybrid electric power steering system is composed of the EHPS motor pump, column mounted EPS system, and ball nut steering gear box for heavy commercial vehicles. The accuracy of vehicle models equipped with the HILS system was verified with comparisons between the simulation results and field test results. The road reaction forces of the steering system were generated from the vehicle model and verified using field test results. Step steering tests using the verified HILS system were carried out and the performance of a newly developed commercial vehicle hybrid electric power steering system was evaluated.

자동차 업계는 전장화 가속화와 강화된 환경규제에 대응하기 위해 자동차의 12[V] 전기시스템과 더불어 48[V] 전기 시스템에 대한 도입을 추진하고 있다. 듀얼 전기시스템을 사용할 경우 소모 전력이 적은 부품에 대해서는 기존의 12[V] 시스템을 유지하고 전력 소모가 큰 전동식 조향장치, 브레이크, 공조 시스템은 48[V] 시스템을 사용함으로써 비용을 최소화하고 연비를 최대 15[%]까지 개선시킬 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이를 구현하기 위해서는 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터가 필수적이며 대성전기에서는 48V 마일드 하이브리드 시스템을 위한 4-phase 구조의 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터를 개발하였다.
