Stationary turning experiment at large steering angle, up to 80 degrees has been carried out with the electric four-wheel drive and steering vehicle manufactured for the previous study. In addition, by solving a static simulation model by graphical analysis to confirm the results of the experiment, investigation has been conducted on stationary turning characteristics of reverse steering in the steering angle ratio of the rear wheels to the front wheels 1:-1.
As the results, it was confirmed that at a fixed steering angle, the cornering energy per unit running distance or unit cornering angle showed a sharp increase with increasing speed, and that the center of cornering moved forward in a circular arc and so forth.
