STEER-BY-BRAKE

Steer-by-Brake (SbB) is a software solution that uses the vehicle’s electronic brakes to steer the vehicle while also controlling its speed – enabling safety redundancies without the cost and complexity of additional hardware.

This software solution works by activating the brakes to cause the vehicle to yaw and follow the curvature commanded by the vehicle trajectory planner. SbB also continuously monitors the forward-looking path to determine the vehicle’s ability to meet the upcoming curvature route. If the vehicle is unable to meet a commanded path, SbB performs an alternative safety maneuver.

SbB was recognized as an Automotive News PACEpilot 2021 Innovation to Watch.

Key Benefits of Nexteer Steer-by-Brake (SbB) Software

COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH
SbB leverages the vehicle’s existing steering, braking and powertrain systems with portable software functions that can reside on an existing controller – thus eliminating the need to add hardware and creating a cost-efficient way to enhance vehicle safety.

COVERS BROAD VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
SbB can be integrated in all vehicle types with EPS or SbW across all SAE ADAS Levels 0-5 (from traditional hands-on driving to fully autonomous).

HARDWARE INDEPENDENCE
SbB can reside on a Domain Control Unit (DCU), allowing for decoupled hardware and software and more centralized E/E architectures.
