Analysis and Improvement of the Steering Characteristics of an ATV

Abstract

The main objective is to analyze the steering characteristics of an ATV (All Terrain vehicles) in order to improve the maneuverability of the vehicle. It is found that in our last year’s BAJA buggy the vehicle oversteerd more than we expected, when inputs are given in the steering wheel while cornering at sharp turns which tends to move the vehicle out of the track. We focus to design an effective steering system with a reduced steering ratio of 3:1. This helps the driver to maneuver the vehicle with ease.
