Abstract
The authors have developed a steering real-time simulator that is a bench test method for steering system using a Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) to improve the efficiency of the steering system development. In this study, a suspension model based on a multibody kinematic analysis was developed to improve the accuracy of tie rod axial force calculation in the real-time simulation environment. The evaluation of the developed multibody kinematics model was carried out by comparing the calculation results in the off-line simulation with those of commercial software and reproduced tie rod axial force in the HILS test with those of actual track test.
