Now a days most of the vehicles are use the two wheel steering system mechanism as their main handling system but, the efficiency of two wheel steering vehicle is proven to be low compared to all wheel steering vehicles. All wheel steering system can be employed in some vehicles to improve vehicle response, increase vehicle stability while moving at certain speed, or to decrease turning radius at low speed. All wheel steering is a technologically, tremendous effort on heavy loaded vehicles. Hence, there is a requirement of a mechanism which result in less turning radius and it can be achieved by implementing all wheel steering mechanism instead of regular two wheel steering.

This paper presents a mathematical model for multi-axle vehicles Inclusive of steering system, suspension system, tire model, body system. Considering possible factors related to turning motion such as vehicle configuration and suspension, equations of motion were constructed to predict steerability and stability of these vehicles. Turning radius, slip angle at the mass center, and each wheel velocity were obtained by numerically solving the equations. The simulation model is made by MATLAB based on the mathematic equation. To analyze the influence of the wheelbase layout on vehicle stability, driving performance and stability of the vehicle with three wheelbase layout is simulated based on the present model. It is concluded that the wheelbase between second axle and third axle should be long to get better stability when vehicle turning with rear axles.

Based on the two degree of freedom model of kiloton all-terrain crane, he effects of relationship of deflection angle on turning radius were investigated in multi-axle steering system. MATLAB/Simulink was used to analyze the relationship of every axle in multi-axle steering and optimize the minimum turning radius. The studies show that the kiloton all-terrain crane adapted all-wheel steering driving at 5speed , and the front wheel angle was 32.3°, as compared to the rolling radius before optimization, the turning radius in all wheel turnaround reduced by 33%, which improved the vehicle capacity through the complex curve and increased the vehicle steering flexibility.

- Presently, all vehicles have a two-wheel steering system irrespective of the vehicle being front wheel driven, rear wheel driven or all-wheel driven. A four-wheel steering system known as “quadra steering” system is a system in which both the front wheels and rear wheels get steered according to the speed of the vehicle and space available for turning. This system makes the vehicle more stable and enhances its performance. In this report, the performance of quadra steering system has been considered under low speed, medium speed and high-speed conditions. For parking and low speed conditions, rear wheels are turned in the opposite directions while at medium and high-speed conditions, rear wheels and front wheels are turned in the same direction. As a result, the vehicle becomes more stable and its turning radius reduces greatly.

Go-kart is a one of the motor sport which is played globally. This racing does not require any professional drivers or greater speed. It is a light weight and cheaper vehicle which does not require suspension and differential. In this paper we are concentrating on Roll cage and steering system of Go-kart. While keeping it light weight, chassis material is selected as AISI 1018 which give more tensile strength, machinability, and can sustain maximum load. For designing and analysis CATIA and ANSYS soft wares were used. Whereas in steering system the Ackermann steering mechanism is used for attaining maximum cornering speed, without the slippage of tires. This also gives us minimum turning radius, helping us to take sharp turns when the driver has to take sharp corners.

As the four-wheel steering (4WS) system has great potentials, many researchers' attention was attracted to this technique and active research was made. As a result, passenger cars equipped with 4WS systems were put on the market a few years ago. This report tries to identify the essential elements of the 4WS technology in terms of vehicle dynamics and control techniques. Based on the findings of this investigation, the report gives a mechanism of electronically controlling the steering system depending on the variable pressure applied on it. This enhances the controlling and smoothens the operation of steering mechanism.

This article presents a brief note on the evolution of steering mechanisms and more emphasized on articulated steering system of the load haul dump machine. In this respect, pictorial representation of the evolution of steering mechanisms for on-road and articulated steering mechanisms of the load haul dump machine is made from the available literature. Critical review on basic elements required for the complete automation of the load haul dump vehicle steering system is presented. Different types of controllers for path tracking error minimization of the scale-modeled or simulated model of the load haul dump steering system are tabulated. Few case studies stimulating the complete automation of the load haul dump steering system employed on the field are also discussed. Challenges and some research gaps in making fully automated steering system of the load haul dump machine are identified in this review article. At the end, based on the critical review, some novel methods for making the fully automated steering system of the load haul dump machine is provided, which is the potential future work for the design and development of feasible automatic steering system.

When a larger bus steering in the corners, it easily affected by the lateral acceleration so that the vehicle sideslips or rolls over, using the research methods of combining with real vehicle modeling and simulation to ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers. Analyzed and researched systems that affecting vehicles stability performance, including power train, steering system, brake system and the vehicles road model of the system curve .On this basis, compared to the acceleration values which the motorbus body can withstand in different states, proposing the acceleration values when human feel comfortable, uncomfortable and terrible, then conducted simulation tests under different turning radius and speeds. The results showed that: on the premise of ensuring the safety and comfort of vehicle passengers, the allowable speed limit with different bend radius is not the same; then it drew series of limit speeds allowed by series of bend radius, providing a reference and basis for future road construction and motorbus technical improvement.

In order to improve low-speed flexibility and high-speed handling and stability of multi-axle vehicle, a double-phase steering system was designed with planetary gear system. An in-phase steering mode is used when steering wheel turning in small angle. A adverse-phase steering mode is used when steering wheel turning in large angle. A five-axle vehicle simulation model was established with software ADAMS/VIEW. The research of all-wheel steering and non-all-wheel steering for high speed and low speed was respectively processed. When running in high speed, the lateral acceleration and yaw rate of the centroid are significantly lower when rear wheels steering in in-phase mode than the rear wheels not turning, which makes the possibility of roll and drift decrease, when vehicle overtaking in high-speed. When running in low speed, compared with rear wheels not steering, when rear wheels sreering, lateral acceleration increased by only 12.8%, yaw rate is 17.3% higher, diameter of the centroid trajectory is reduced by 12.9%, which greatly increases the mobility and flexibility of the multi-axle vehicle when turning at low speed.
