Deshmukh4, Prof. Avinash B. Verma 5 Department of Mechanical Engineering 1, 2,3,4,5 Shree Ramchandra college of Engineering Pune, India Abstract- in this project I would like to demonstrate major problems which are available in steering system like under steer, Oversteer and neutral steer. So, we think to create such steering system which overcomes those problems. In this project a small model is created to show how a four wheel steering system works. Primary function of the steering system is to achieve angular motion of the front wheels to negotiate a turn. A system that uses all four wheels to turn a vehicle is known as a four wheel steering. Four wheel steering is must nowadays and is relatively a new technology that improves maneuverability in cars, trucks, trailers etc. There are some different steering systems like crab steer, zero turning system and four wheel steering system. In that the turning radius is reduced by some angle. use in monster trucks, where maneuverability in small areas. Intercity buses also utilize 4WS, to assist maneuverability in bus terminals and also to improve road stability. Some of major problem is overcome and is describe as below: Keywords- Understeer, Oversteer, Negotiate, Maneuverability, crab steer. A two wheel steering system has a bigger turning radius while in four wheels steering system has smaller. In two wheels steering system only front wheels are turn in left/right direction hence there is a bigger turning radius to turn a vehicle. In four wheel steering system, front wheels are turn in left direction while rear wheels are turn in right direction hence there is reduced in turning radius by some angle. I. INTRODUCTION A four wheel steering system is developed to overcome such problems which are available in two wheel steering system. A steering system is created to show a actual working of four wheel steering system. Normally, when we drive a vehicle we face some problems like under steering, over steering and we also have face problems in parking a vehicle in small place, while changing lane on highways. If four wheels steering is used then all such problems are reduced easily. With the help of Four wheel steering system a turning radius will reduce and it helps in parking a vehicle in small areas and when a vehicle in traffic we can easily get our vehicle from that. In Crab steering system all wheels are turn in same direction like parallel so on highways we can easily change our lane by this steering system. A four wheel steering system doesn’t require a any extra effort. It improves maneuverability in any vehicle. Also there are some systems in which attendance make some sort of easy doing it automated like RFID OR BIOMATRIC Systems. But those are not suitable for huge crowed also not giving 100% correctness. Some Documents Information developing desired system are as below: is useful for Turning Radius: Understeer/Oversteer: In two wheels steering system, while turning a vehicle in full speed on road there are some problems like understeer, oversteer are comes. So, when four wheel steering system is available at that time then such problems are doesn’t exists. [2] III. FOUR WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM The Four wheels steering system can be used in two modes: II. LITERATURE REVIEW a) Crab turning radius mode: In the present system all work is done on paper. We did all calculations by our self on paper. A model of four wheel steering system is created to test all the possible cases available in this steering system. Four wheels steering system is critical and it is also popular in large farm vehicles and trucks. Some of the modern steering found it most widespread Page | 18 In the Crab turning radius mode, where in all wheels turn in same direction. This system is used at high speeds. This helps reduced centrifugal force on turns and prevents skidding of vehicle. www.ijsart.com IJSART - volume 1 Issue 3 –MARCH 2015 ISSN [ONLINE]: 2395-1052 Fig.1. Crab turning radius mode b) Reduced turning radius mode : In the Reduced turning radius mode, where in pair of wheels turn in alter direction. This system is used at low speeds. This enables the vehicle to turn in minimal possible space. Fig.3. All wheel steering vehicle Fig 2. Reduced turning radius mode Fig.4.Worm & worm wheel gear IV. MODEL OF FOUR WHEELS STEERING SYSTEM V. ADVANTAGES Four wheels steering system is as shown in figure below. Four steering motors are used to drive a vehicle at any direction. This model is works on 12V DC battery and a DPDT switch. A worm and worm wheel gearbox is manufactured and it placed on chassis where each wheel is moved in each direction. Page | 19 1. Better steering control at high speeds on turns. 2. Lesser tyre wear. 3. Zero turning radius makes vehicle turn in minimum space. 4. Easy parking in low space conditions. 5. Both reduced turning radius and zero radius turning is possible, Makes versatile operation. 6. Low cost of manufacturing 7. Low cost of running and maintenance. www.ijsart.com IJSART - volume 1 Issue 3 –MARCH 2015 ISSN [ONLINE]: 2395-1052 VI. CONCLUSION Four wheels steering system is must nowadays. It is very useful in low speed as well as high speeds. From four wheels steering systems we overcomes the all problems and we get a necessary desire output. The accuracy is maintain in this type of steering system. REFERENCES [1] K. Lohith, Dr. S. R. Shankapal, M. H.
