Design of Rear Wheel Steering System of an Experimental Electric Vehicle

Abstract

The article deals with a topic of the rear wheel steering of an experimental electric vehicle. Steering of the rear wheel of a vehicle is no new topic, it was being solved ever since the beginning of the vehicle manufacture. The main task of a rear wheel steering is to improve the maneuverability of a vehicle, especially at lower speeds of up to 50 km / h. This solution has recently been seen primarily in vehicles of larger car manufacturers which have higher wheelbase. This solution is also appearing in sports cars, for their better maneuverability in urban environments.
