Abstract

The goals of this study are to investigate possible improvements in active and passive safety by both active lateral dynamic control and an unconventional steering unit. The ideas have been implemented as a running prototype in a SAAB 9000 car. The unconventional steering unit uses ideas from the development of the J39 Griffin, Saab Scania As's latest military aircraft. The system safety and reliability of the system are also taken in consideration and discussed. The test results indicate that it is possible to achieve both an extended controllability, and a higher degree of active and passive safety by using steer-by-wire and a joy-stick. (A)
