Abstract

The Ackerman steering mechanism is to avoid the slip of tyres on sideways when following the path around a curve. This mechanism is for all wheels to have their axels arrangement as radii of circles with a common centre point. As the rear wheels are fixed this centre point must be on the line extended from the rear axle. Intersecting the axes of front wheels on this line as well requires that the inside front wheel is turned through a greater angle than the outside wheel. Wheel locking is a predominant phenomenon during panic braking and this will cause vehicle skidding resulting in injuries and road accidents. As the road safety regulations are becoming more stringent, the anti-lock brake system will replace the conventional brake systems in all road vehicles to avoid accidents and to improve vehicle safety.
