Vehicle Steering Dynamic Calculation and Simulation

This paper presents fundamental mathematical estimations of vehicle sideslip in stationary conditions regarding the influences of the vehicle parameters such as the tire stiffness, the position of gravity centre, the vehicle speed and the turning radius. The vehicle dynamics on steady state and transient responses are also investigated to see the effects of the yaw natural frequency and yaw damping rate on the steering system. Results from this study can be used in designing an automatic control of tracking vehicle in the future.
