In der Arbeit wird ein hydrostatisches Steer-by-Wire Ventil mit unabhängigen Steuerkanten untersucht und bezüglich der Eignung für sicherheitskritische Anwendungen bewertet. Durch experimentelle Untersuchungen wird nachgewiesen, dass Ventilfehler inhärent kompensiert werden können und die Lenkbarkeit auch im Fehlerfall gewährleistet ist. Der Verzicht auf eine strikt zweikanalige Struktur mit unabhängigen Abschaltpfaden sorgt für eine niedrige Systemkomplexität.
