Preface
In recent years, steering system technologies have undergone rapid development. This was caused by increased regulatory requirements in the areas of environment and safety, through the increased comfort requirements of the customer and not least by the continuing cost pressure. New ways has been taken up for steering components such as steering wheel, steering column, and steering gear. The most substantial change has been the progressive substitution of conventional hydraulic steering systems with electrical steering systems. With this change in technology a variety of new steering functions have been made possible. It is therefore not surprising that the steering system development as such occupies an ever-increasing role in modern chassis development. Due to the lack of a standard English book on the subject of steering systems/steering behavior, which describes the current state of the art, we decided with Springer Verlag to publish the German Steering Handbook also in English. We have taken into account the different interests and requirements of automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and universities in such a standard work by the involvement of proven experts from these areas. In the first part of this book, the kinematic and vehicle dynamics of steering is explained and discussed, and also the influence of the
