This thesis by Alessandro Dell’Amico focuses on improving hydraulic power steering systems in heavy vehicles by developing a pressure control valve. The work explores the design and evaluation of a valve that enhances energy efficiency and performance by shifting from an open-centre to a closed-centre circuit. Through model-based design and a hardware-in-the-loop simulation, the study demonstrates that the new valve can match the performance of existing systems while offering benefits in active steering and safety functions. The research is aimed at professionals in fluid mechanics and automotive engineering, particularly those interested in vehicular safety systems.
