Abstract

It is investigated that how characteristics of steering wheel torque exert influence on behavior of driver-vehicle system by using driving simulator. In addition to friction and damping of steering system, tire cornering power contributes to static and dynamic characteristics of not only vehicle motion but also steering wheel torque. It is revealed that the characteristics of steering wheel torque are associated with handling and stability of the driver-vehicle system. In particular, the characteristics can improve a repeatability of steering behavior of driver in repetitive cornering on same course, which correlates to subjective evaluation of handling.
