Improved handling characteristics of off-road vehicles by applying active control of steering wheel torque

Authors: ,

Abstract

Driving speed of agricultural mobile machines have been increased in the recent years, raisingserious questions about vehicle handling characteristics considering the high center-of-gravity, multi-massconfiguration and rear-wheel-steering of these vehicles. The next generation of steering systems on offroad vehicles will incorporate a steering column mechatronic subsystem which will generate tactilefeedback for operator. This paper presents our research work to utilize steering wheel torque to improveoff-road vehicle handling characteristics.
