A steer-by-wire system for a vehicle that provides synchronization capability
to
an actuator of a steerable device and an actuator of a steering input device includes
a steering input device actuator operably connected to the steering input device
of the vehicle and a steerable device actuator operably connected to the steerable
device of the vehicle. The steerable device actuator is disposed in electronic
communication with the steering input device actuator. The electronic communication
is defined such that synchronous positioning of the steering input device actuator
and the steerable device actuator can be effectuated by the system upon startup
of the vehicle. A method of using the system includes initiating operation of the
system by turning on an ignition switch of the vehicle and evaluating an initial
condition of the vehicle. The initial condition is associated to the positions
of the steering input device actuator and the steerable device actuator.
