Abstract

A steering aid system called active steering is evaluated by simulating different kinds of driving events. This system is an important system in the vehicle. The main purpose of the steering system is to allow the driver control the vehicle independently. The steering system maintains the tire to the road contact. A full car vehicle model is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink with 14 DOF of equations which include the drive vehicle model and also the handling model. The steering angle is the input of the vehicle model that should be focused on. The angle of the steering system between the tires when turning the vehicle is taken in consideration. Simulations are made on different road conditions effect and also side wind disturbances. Different values are applied to the simulation to reduce the effect of the driving events. Therefore, these simulations results do provide a better improvement to the steering system. The aim for this work is to understand and improve the response of the vehicle in the front steering system. Specific driving events in these simulations are the road adhesions and lateral side wind disturbances. Improved front steering is obtained for vehicle during the processing of the simulations.
