High-Speed Driving of a Lateral Guided Vehicle With Sensor Steering Mechanism

摘要

Abstract This paper proposes a simple relation of the lateral guidance mechanism for automatic, guided vehicles and Dual Mode Trucks, and named it SSM (Sensor Steering Mechanism). SSM consists of a guide bar and deceleration gear which reduces the bar angle to one-second. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this relation, this paper examines the stability of the dynamic behavior of the front wheel steering of the vehicle. These results show that there is no limitation of the moving speed unless without a slip of the tire. For the test, a self-standing mobile robot, reduced to a scale of one-twentieth of the real car, is developed. Experimental results show that high-speed automatic moving is realized by using this relation.
