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.

ABSTRACT Commonly used tire models for vehicle-handling simulations are derived from the assumption of a flat and solid surface. Snow surfaces are nonsolid and may move under the tire. This results in inaccurate tire models and simulation results that are too far from the true phenomena. This article describes a physically motivated tire model that takes the effect of snow shearing into account. The brush tire model approach is used to describe an additional interaction between the packed snow in tire tread pattern voids with the snow road surface. Fewer parameters and low complexity make it suitable for real-time applications. The presented model is compared with test track tire measurements from a large set of different tires. Results suggest higher accuracy compared with conventional tire models. Moreover, the model is also proven to be capable of correctly predicting the self-aligning torque given the force characteristics.
