“…This finding aligns with the results of previous studies, which emphasize the influence of friction occurring at various locations in the steering system on the handling characteristics [7]. Particularly, in on-center handling situations with small steering angles, the role of friction cannot be ignored [2]. If friction cannot be minimized, the EPS control system can compensate for the friction elements to improve on-center handling.…”

“…When a vehicle is driven in a nominally straight line but encounters large-radius bends at high speeds and low lateral accelerations (≤0.2 g), the handling characteristic perceived by the driver is known as on-center steering feel. According to [1,2], the majority of drivers operate their vehicles within the on-center steering area. Therefore, in general, the steering feel experienced in the on-center region significantly influences the daily driving experience of drivers.…”

“…Moreover, a vehicle model capable of representing the lateral characteristics of the vehicle was implemented, allowing for an interpretation from the perspective of the entire vehicle, rather than one limited to the steering system. However, according to [2], the elasticity of vehicle components influences handling characteristics. Especially in the on-center area, where factors such as the steering column and friction and chassis elasticity have an impact on the steering characteristics, considering these factors in the simulation environment is crucial in establishing reliable simulation models.…”

This research aims to investigate steering feel by analyzing a steering system and an electric power steering logic. First, steering feel is defined based on previous research, and methods for evaluating it are discussed. Second, a sensitivity analysis is conducted by modeling our developed vehicle and that of a competitor known for its excellent steering feel via a multi-body simulation. We then propose a straightforward method to determine the parameters associated with steering feel to achieve the desired steering characteristics. Last, by modifying the electric power steering control system, we achieve a steering feel in our vehicle that matches the desired steering characteristics.

“…Many scholars have done a lot of research on the effect of steering system on the performance of the vehicle. Van Ende et al 1 , 2 conducted a parametric modeling analysis to investigate how the steering system influenced the dynamic response of the vehicle and steering during on-center handling, and arrived at the finding that the elasticity of the steering system exerted a significant impact. Pfeffer et al 3 utilized a validated, customized simulation model to explore the impact of the interplay between the steering system and the vehicle on the handling behavior during on-center driving.…”

The handling stability of a vehicle is a crucial performance aspect. In this study, the focus is on investigating the impact of the universal gearing of the steering shaft on the handling stability of the vehicle. The research involves a theoretical analysis of how the structural parameters of universal gearing affect the handling stability of the vehicle, which is then validated through a series of simulation experiments including swept-sine steering input simulation, constant radius cornering simulation, and cornering with steer release. Evaluation is based on objective indices such as the steering wheel angle, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration. Moreover, the trends of these indices with respect to the phase angle and initial angle of universal gearing are determined. The findings reveal that the steering ratio of the vehicle varies significantly for varying phase angle and initial angle, resulting in different handling performance. The relationship between the phase angle and fluctuation magnitude of steering ratio is particularly noteworthy, while the impact of initial angle is primarily on the phase of steering ratio. Furthermore, within a certain range, changing the structural parameters of the universal gearing has the potential to enhance the handling performance of the vehicle.
