FABRICATION OF FOUR WHEEL STEERING

SYSTEM WITH ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE

BRAKE SYSTEM
 ABSTRACT

 The main objective of our project is to design and fabrication

of automatic reverse with Four Wheel steering system.
Steering of a four wheel vehicle is, as far as possible,
arranged so that the front wheels will roll truly without any
lateral slip.

 The front wheels are supported on front axle so that they

can swing to the left or right for steering. This movement is
produced by gearing and linkage between the steering wheel
in front of the driver and the steering knuckle or wheel.
 Scope of the project

 The complete arrangement is called the steering system. In

this project, the rear wheels turn in a direction opposite to the

front wheels so that to reduce the turning circle radius at low

speeds. This would be very useful in city traffic conditions. This

project also having automatic bumper arrangement for

avoiding accident.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE

 When the steering is steered the power is transferred to the

front wheel

 steering gear box, and a bevel gear arrangement is made to

transfer the power to the rear steering link.

 link is used to transmit the rotary motion perpendicularly,

so the one bevel gear is introduced in the front steering rod.

Other link is connected to the transfer rod.

 As the steering is steered the rear wheels also turn

by the arrangements made and the rear wheel turn in the

opposite direction. It consists of a braking system in

which it is applied and the wheel gets turned back in

order to avoid accident by an electric motor with bumper

system.
 NEED OF THE PROJECT

 The front-to-rear wheel alignment plays a significant role

in the directional stability of a vehicle. Often the lack of

stability causes a dangerous drive. The majority of cars

suffered from over-steer, mainly due to the uncontrolled

movement of the rear axle caused by spring deflection

which is initiated by body roll.

Advantages

 The vehicle's cornering behavior becomes more stable

and controllable at high speeds as well as on wet or

slippery road surfaces.

 The vehicle's response to steering input becomes

quicker and more precise throughout the vehicle's

entire speed range.
