Design, Development, and Testing of an IoT-Based Steer-By-Wire System for an Electric All-Terrain Vehicle

This research paper outlines the design, development, and testing of an IoT-based Steer-By-Wire (SBW) system for an electric All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV). The system replaces traditional mechanical steering linkages with electronic controls, aiming to enhance control precision, adaptability, and safety in dynamic off-road conditions. The SBW system employs Jetson Nano as the central processing unit and integrates Socket.IO for real-time communication. A dedicated Arduino microcontroller is utilized for steering control, with a rotary encoder for data acquisition and feedback from various sensors. Comprehensive validation tests demonstrate the system's functionality, reliability, and significant potential for improving off-road electric vehicle steering performance.
