NOW A DAY’S MOST OF THE VEHICLES USE THE TWO WHEEL STEERING MECHANISM AS THEIR
MAIN HANDLING SYSTEM. BUT THE EFFICIENCYOF THE TWO WHEEL STEERING VEHICLE IS PROVEN TO
BE LOW COMPARED TO THE FOUR WHEEL STEERING VEHICLES. FOUR WHEELS STEERING SYSTEM
CAN BE EMPLOYED IN SOME VEHICLES TO IMPROVE STEERING RESPONSE, INCREASE VEHICLE
STABILITY WHILE MOVING AT CERTAIN SPEED, OR TO DECREASE TURNING RADIUS AT LOW SPEED.
FOUR-WHEEL STEERING IS A TECHNOLOGICALLY, TREMENDOUS EFFORT ON THE PART OF
AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN ENGINEERS TO PROVIDE NEAR-NEUTRAL STEERING. IN SITUATIONS LIKE LOW
SPEED CORNERING, VEHICLE PARKING AND DRIVING IN CITY CONDITIONS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IN
TIGHT SPACES, HIGH SPEED LANE CHANGING WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT DUE TO VEHICLE’S LARGER
WHEELBASE AND TRACK WIDTH WHICH BRINGS HIGH INERTIA AND TRACTION INTO CONSIDERATION.
HENCE THERE IS A REQUIREMENT OF A MECHANISM WHICH RESULT IN LESS TURNING RADIUS AND IT
CAN BE ACHIEVED BY IMPLEMENTING FOUR WHEEL STEERING MECHANISMS INSTEAD OF REGULAR
TWOWHEEL STEERING.
FOUR-WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM IS NOT A NEW TECHNOLOGY BUT HAS IT NOT GAINED
POPULARITYOVER TWO-WHEEL STEERINGSYSTEM EVEN THOUGH EXPERIMENTS HAVE PROVED THAT
IT HAS EXCELLENT MANOEUVRABILITY, HIGH STABILITY AND IT IS A SOLUTION TO OVER
STEER/UNDER STEER. IF FOUR-WHEEL STEERING IS A BETTER REPLACEMENT FOR AGE OLD TWO-
WHEEL STEERING.

3. 3. HOW IS MY PROJECT DIFFERENT FROM THE EXISTING SYSTEM (IN 150
WORDS):-
4. WHAT IS THE FUNCTIONAL & NON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT OF MY
PROJECT (IN 50 WORDS):-
THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYSTEM IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE TURNING RADIUS OF THE VEHICLE,
THEREBY IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE DURING COMPETITION. MANY FACTORS
WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN DESIGNING THIS SYSTEM. THE FOREMOST CRITERIA OF THE
DESIGN WERE THE REDUCTION OF THE TURNING RADIUS.
THERE ARE SOME POINTS TO DESCRIBE MY PROJECT DIFFERENT FROM EXISTING SYSTEM-
1. SUPERIOR CORNERING STABILITY.
2. IMPROVED STEERING RESPONSIVENESS AND PRECISION.
3. HIGH SPEED STRAIGHT LINE STABILITY.
4. NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT IN RAPID LANE CHANGING MANOEUVRES.
5. RELATIVE WHEEL ANGLES AND THEIR CONTROL.
6. SMALLER TURNING RADIUS ANDTIGHT SPACE MANOEUVRABILITY AT LOW SPEED.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS-
WE REQUIRED A WORK SHOP FOR MACHINING OF PARTS AND ASSEMBLE TOGETHER TO
COMPLETE THE PROJECT, WELDING SHOP ALSO REQUIRED FOR PERMANENT JOINING OF THE PARTS.
NON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS -
INDUSTRIAL VISIT TO ANY AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRIES MAYBE REQUIRED, STUDY OF MATERIAL
SEARCHED FROM SITES AND GUIDANCE OF RESPECTED GUIDES ALSO REQUIRED.
