Maneuverability study of a vehicle with rear wheel steering

Abstract

Steering of current vehicles, forward steering, has remained quasi-constant along years. Hence, few times a vehicle with steering different, as rear wheel steering, was put under analysis. The kinematic study that happens when changing the steer to the rear position will be develop in the following paragraphs, as well as some simulations of maneuverability of a vehicle with these features. The purpose is to give to know that a vehicle with rear wheel steering has kinematic features that are advantageous against another vehicles with front wheel steering.
