“…The importance of this note is that to date, there has been relatively little assessment of the inclusion of force feedback to the operator through the steering input devices used for mobility control in tactical military vehicles. However, a variety of studies in other by-wire vehicles (civilian autos, simulators, and aerial vehicles) has indicated that inclusion of force feedback through simple modification of the steering input device stiffness McLeod & Griffin, 1989) or through the use of an active mechanism (Andonian et al, 2003) may be advantageous to mobility control performance, particularly during vehicle motion. This is an important area of research and development for military vehicles that warrants considerably greater attention.…”

“…4 To use a joystick as an alternative to a steering wheel in a Sbw system may help further optimize cabin space utilization, reduce the risk of injury to drivers in collisions and integrate sophisticated vehicle dynamic control functions. 5 A key characteristic of the Sbw system is that the steering ratio of the vehicle, that is, the ratio of driver steering angle to front road wheel angle, can be designed with complete freedom. With regard to the design of the steering ratio, a great effort has been put into the Sbw systems where a conventional steering wheel is equipped as the driver-vehicle interface.…”

Steer-by-wire system has replaced the conventional mechanical linkages with electronic actuators. In this article, a joystick is utilized to substitute the conventional steering wheel and study the variable steering ratio design methods in this new human-machine interface. With this structure of steer-by-wire system, the steering angle and torque ratio can be designed flexibly. A dynamic model of joystick of steer-by-wire system is built based on bilateral control scheme. Through comparing the vehicle steering performance of joystick with steering wheel, three conventional steering ratio design methods are studied that are speed-dependent, speed-and angle-dependent and constant yaw rate gain. The drawbacks are analysed by three kinds of conventional steering ratio, and a novel variable yaw rate gain steering ratio design method is investigated. A driving simulator is used to verify and compare these steering ratio design methods. The computer simulation and experimental test results demonstrate that the variable yaw rate gain steering ratio design method can effectively guarantee vehicle steering performance.

“…Heydinger et al [10] developed a vehicle dynamics simulation model for use in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) National Advanced Driving Simulator. Andonian et al [11] used a fixed-based 14 DOF driving simulator to compare the lane tracking performance of test subjects using a joystick steering controller against a conventional hand wheel. Setlur et al [12] evaluated a hybrid vehicle steer-by-wire system using a hardware-inthe-loop and virtual reality test environment.…”

The automotive steering system plays an important role in determining the behavioral dynamics of the operator/vehicle interface. The system's primary function is to transmit the driver commanded steering wheel angle to the road wheels; The secondary function is to provide tire/road interface information back to the driver. The automotive chassis engineer needs a design tool to evaluate the effect of steering parameters on overall vehicle lateral behavior. In this paper, a real time steering simulator will be presented to emulate the behavior of automotive steering systems. The re-configurable steerby-wire simulator allows for the emulation of steering systems ranging from hydraulic, electric and steer-bywire in passenger, light duty, and commercial vehicles for pre-production and production models. To validate the simulator's functionality, a case study has been performed with numerical and experimental data. Comparisons between the simulator results and field data demonstrate a high level of correspondence. The re-configurable simulator evaluation tool represents a contribution to the field of automotive design.
