Abstract: Based on ADAMS/CAR a virtual four-wheel steering (4WS) car prototype was developed, then its kinematic characteristics and forced conditions were analyzed in cases of two-wheel steering (2WS) without braking, with rear left wheel braking and four-wheel braking. The results indicated that the steerability is more stable and trackable during rear left wheel braking and four-wheel braking. A comparative analysis was made between the VDC (vehicle dynamics control) integrated with 4WS, 4WS without braking and 2WS, and the simulation results revealed that the steering stability at high speed are ensured by the VDC integrated with 4WS with flexibility improved. The conclusion is important to reduce traffic accidents for cars at high traveling speed.
