METHOD FOR STEERING A VEHICLE

Abstract

ABSTRACT A method (100) for steering a vehicle. Further, the method comprising connecting the front wheels of the vehicle using a steering linkage system that allows differential angular movement during turns. The linkage system ensures that the inner front wheel turns at a greater angle than the outer front wheel, allowing both wheels to trace circular paths with a common centre. Further, the method (100) comprising the steps of adjusting the steering input to modify the angle of the front wheels based on the desired turning radius. Further, the method (100) comprising the steps of monitoring tire slip during turns to minimize lateral tire wear and enhance handling. Further, the method (100) comprising the steps of adapting the steering mechanism for various vehicle types, including go-karts and automobiles, to improve manoeuvrability and stability. <>

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to the field of vehicle steering systems and, in particular, to a method for implementing Ackermann steering geometry that enhances vehicle manoeuvrability and stability while minimizing tire wear during turns.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] The increasing demand for efficient and manoeuvrable vehicles has led to significant advancements in steering system design. Traditional steering systems often face limitations in terms of hand , Claims:WE CLAIM:
1. A method (100) for steering a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
connecting the front wheels of the vehicle using a steering linkage system that allows differential angular movement during turns, wherein the linkage system ensures that the inner front wheel turns at a greater angle than the outer front wheel, allowing both wheels to trace circular paths with a common centre;
adjusting the steering input to modify the angle of the front wheels based on the desired turning radius;
monitoring tire slip during turns to minimize lateral tire wear and enhance handling;
adapting the steering mechanism for various vehicle types, including go-karts and automobiles, to improve manoeuvrability and stability.

2. The method (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the steering linkage system includes a variable ratio mechanism that adjusts the steering sensitivity based on the vehicle's speed.
