Abstract
This paper describes about the steer by touch technology. The steering wheel of a car is replaced with a touch screen (mobile phone) and the signal is sent to a microcontroller which actuates the steering actuator (motor). Steering control is obtained by swiping to left or right on the touch screen. This method eliminates the mechanical components in the car and hence reducing the weight and reducing mechanical wear. The signal to the microcontroller is sent using wireless technology (Bluetooth) and hence reducing wiring. Application software is used to control the steering actuator. By using this technology the steering effort by the driver is eliminated and also the Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) that is transmitted from the tyres to steering column are eliminated.
