HIGH-SPEED CORNERING OF LATERAL GUIDED VEHICLE WITH SENSOR STEERING MECHANISM

摘要

This paper examines the ability of the vehicle equipped with SSM (Sensor Steering Mechanism) by utilizing a simulated trajectory in comparison to experimental results. Dynamical equations of the four-wheeled vehicle with front and all wheel steering are derived. The program developed the trajectory of the vehicle moving on the flat oval surface in order to conform these maneuvers. This experiment tests the vehicle's capacity to automatically following in guide way alignment. Numerical and experimental results show the effectiveness of SSM in programing these maneuvers.
