Abstract
Authors proposed SSM(Sensor Steering Mechanism) which is an effective mechanism to improve the speed of lateral guided vehicle. Previous report shows that the lateral stability of the four-wheeled vehicle with SSM does not exist speed limit in the straight way. Moreover, the ability of the vehicle equipped with SSM by utilizing the simulated trajectory are compared to experimental results. Simulated and experimental results ware well correspond each other, and the validity was shown. This paper shows that SSM is able to use for the evaluation of the steering characteristics of the vehicles depending on the location of driving wheel. FF(Front engine Front drive) and RR(Rear engine Rear drive) vehicle are used for the simulation and experiment, and the results demonstrate the feature well.
