Abstract
New steering technologies offer potential for performance improvement, but the associated design freedom brings the risk of high development cost and non-optimal design. The Driver-Vehicle Dynamics Group at Cambridge University Engineering Department (United Kingdom) is taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem. The work being presented aims at moving engineering activity from the expensive development phase to the low-cost design phase by using a mathematical model of the driver.
