DynamicTrailerSteering (DTS®)
DTS® - DynamicTrailerSteering
The electronic-hydraulic forced steering system of the future
DTS® stands for DynamicTrailerSteering, our steering system without a drawbar angle sensor, which is characterized by its user-friendliness and pioneering technology - based on our proven EHLA® solution.
- Elimination of any mechanical connections between the towing vehicle and trailer for the purpose of determining the articulation angle
- Determination of the articulation angle from the dynamic driving state of the vehicle
- Use of a special algorithm developed and proven by ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK
- Use of an IMU module and two speed and direction signals
DTS® impresses in the practical test
Pöttinger uses contactless forced steering system in the Jumbo 8450 DB
In issue 03/2024, the trade magazine profi subjected the Pöttinger Jumbo 8450 DB combi loader wagon to a thorough practical test. One focus was on the contactless forced steering system, which was used for the first time in series production in Pöttinger vehicles. The result speaks for itself: the DTS® system impressed the experts.
DTS® steering system functionality
Algorithm developed by ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK and proven in practice many times
- Inertial measurement unit (IMU) records all 6 kinematic degrees of freedom in x-, y- and z-axis
- Acquisition of acceleration and rotation rate
- Complete recording of the driving dynamics of the trailer vehicle using the IMU module combined with driving speed and direction
- The articulation angle between the towing vehicle and trailer is calculated from the measured variables mentioned and thus the target steering angles of the steering axles
