3041 ステアリングジオメトリを考慮した操舵反力モデルの提案  [in Japanese] Proposal of a Steering Effort Model with Parameters of Steering Geometry  [in Japanese]

Steering reactive torque of an automobile is a significant factor of human-automobile system. This paper describes an analysis model of steering effort on steady state cornering, which contains the information of steering geometry. Some running tests with a racing kart were carried out in order to evaluate characteristics of steering reactive torque, and it was shown that the experimental results agree with the simulation results with proposed steering effort model.
