Abstract
Steering system is used to direct the vehicle in the desired path. While maneuvering, the vehicle should steer in response to the driver’s input command. The goal of this project is to design a good responsive steering system for high as well as low speed cornering for formula student car and retain the moderate cost, manufacturability, and low weight. The main consideration in design of the steering system is to produce pure rolling motion of the wheels while maneuvering the tightest corners. A safe design should be developed to ensure proper response to high speed cornering and heavy braking. It is essential to take human comfort and safety into consideration while designing. A steering system of lower steering ratio and weight as low as possible is designed, analysed and fabricated.
