Abstract
A SSM (Sensor Steering Mechanism) vehicle achieved high-speed moving on a straightline and high accuracy following the guideway of the road. The lateral guided vehicle with modified SSM reduces the slip angle of the tires at the corner of the course by using the variable lever ratio and steering ratio, and the moving speed of the vehicle is increased. This study estimates the lateral control characteristics of the SSM vehicles with trailer system. Finally, the simulated and experimental results show the advantages of the SSM.
