Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization" Monitoring systems for data collection in a vehicle steering system include a vehicle steering system comprising a rack, a pinion, and a steering column; a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values, each of the plurality of detection values corresponding to at least one of a plurality of input sensors, each of the plurality of input sensors operationally coupled to the rack, the pinion, or the steering column, and communicatively coupled to the data acquisition circuit; a signal evaluation circuit comprising: a timer circuit structured to generate at least one timing signal; and a phase detection circuit structured to determine a relative phase difference between at least one of the plurality of detection values and the at least one timing signal from the timer circuit; and a response circuit structured to perform at least one operation in response to the relative phase difference.
