Steering a better path

Two new mechanisms developed by NIT Warangal are simpler than the Ackermann type and allow all four wheels to undergo pure rolling.

Steering is one of the most important systems of an automobile. An incorrectly designed system may cause skidding of the tires on the road, leading to excessive wear and a reduction in the life of tires.

It has been a common practice to provide steering to the front wheels. One of the main reasons for this is that the driver holding the steering wheel is closer to the front wheels and this could reduce transmission chain and thus result in better control.
