The innovative design for automobile EPS system Based on Active front―wheel steering technology 　　Abstract. To improve vehicle driving safety and steering performance， analyzing the mechanical structure of the electric power steering （EPS） systems and active front steering （AFS） system and working principle. The new electric power steering system integration active steering technology is presented； the conventional electric power steering system is used in active front steering system. The new EPS system was composed of traditional electric power steering installation dual planetary gear and motors around the corner. Not only needed to provide power steering， but also did through the front wheels compensation angle in driving conditions to change the angle transmission ratio， eliminate the interference between the active front steering and driver. 　　Keywords： Electric power steering； active steering； planetary gear； variable transmission ratio 　　1. Introduction 　　Driving safety， environmental protection， adjustment assembly simple and low cost are Electric Power Steering （EPS） advantages， it represents the future development direction of automotive power steering technology. Active front steering system is developed by BMW （Active Front Steering， AFS） can independent drivers operating. The front wheel angle and the steering gear ratio are changed by additional angle for the front wheels [1]. The stability control of vehicle is achieved by turning interfere， the vehicle safety， flexibility and driving pleasure are improved a whole new level. For a new electronic control unit， using some intelligent control strategies and control algorithms and other electronic integrated control systems to improve its performance significantly， it is a bite problem to be solved in the automotive active safety research. 　　Considering steering portability， stability and security， in addition to， the AFS system is collocated， the cost is increased. How to make EPS integrate act
