Title

Conceptual Development Of A Lateral Control Device For Road Vehicles

Abstract

In this paper a concept for an innovative lateral control device for road vehicles is proposed. The goal of this design is to potentially improve driver safety by permitting the operator of a vehicle to maintain a constant hand position on the device at all times. The paper provides a brief review of the history of steering means in automobiles and proposes a control device that takes advantage of modern electrical and computational capability. Recommendations for its configuration and the associated technology required for its use in modern automobiles are presented. The paper concludes with a suggested protocol for the testing of this system and the further research required in order to enhance its commercial feasibility.
