Optimization of Integral Steering Trapezoid of Commercial Vehicle Based on MATLAB

Abstract:

The good integrated steering trapezoid of the commercial vehicle can reduce the running resistance, making the steering portability, and reduce tire wear. According to the Ackerman principle, establish the outer wheel theory and practice angle deviation minimum, which is as objective optimization mathematical model. Optimizing two important parameters of the steering trapezoid arm value and the steering trapezoid arrangement angle by the optimization toolbox of MATLAB. After optimization, the value of the actual the inner wheel angle deviation between the theoretical is smaller, so the steering characteristic has been significantly improved.
