Geometric analysis of maneuverability performance for vehicles with two steering axles

One of the most important features of motor vehicles is their steering maneuverability. Ways of determining single axle steering are well known. This paper presents an idea of how to determine maneuverability of motor vehicles with two steering axles. The concept makes use of elements of kinematic analysis as well as of a 3D model of the steering system. It is based on the theoretical analysis of the most unfavorable situations, such as parallel and perpendicular parking techniques, on the basis of which wheel-steering angles are specified. As a result, it was possible to create a 3D model to simulate the actual operation of the steering system. This made it possible to compare the theoretical approach with the actual system design.

Development of model for testing of driving properties

Technical University of Liberec prepares a functional car model with a four-wheel steering in a reduced scale (1:5). For years, reduced scale models have been a valuable tool (especially in the aircraft and ship industry) for analyses of properties and experimenting. Consequently, experiments, which would be otherwise unrealistic, can be made, the system functionality can be verified and the impact of slight changes and design modifications can be analysed. All of this within a relatively short period of time and at low costs. The paper presents the application of a reduced scale car model for the 4WS (Four-Wheel Steering) system development and practical assignment necessary for set up. Also shows the use of individual components for functional implementation of this system. The 4WS system pursues the target of enhanced overtaking stability, elimination of positional variances towards its vertical axis, lower sensitivity to side wind, neutral cornering behaviour etc., thus higher active safety. On the basis of results of driving tests of the scale model and after evaluation of parameters of steering behaviour and driving stability, the computer simulation model of the vehicle could be refined. The reduced scale vehicle model, equipped with the respective sensors of quantities and actuating units, allows carrying out driving tests under laboratory conditions, verification and possible optimisation of algorithms for the control of direction steering of the model is presented in the paper.
