Abstract

In general all vehicles have a steering system in which wheels are steered to take turn. But there is a vehicle called tilting trike in which wheels are tilted instead of turning. Currently some foreign automobile companies like Toyota, Harley Davidson are working on tilt steering system. It gives some advantages like anti-skidding effect, reduced turning radius etc. But this system has its own disadvantages also e.g. it doesn't work properly at low speed. So in our project we have designed & implemented a new steering system in which both turning & tilting are possible. So we will have combined advantages of both turning & tilting.

We have successfully implemented the combination of steering systems which are capable of giving combined advantages of both the steering systems like anti-skidding effect, reduced turning radius etc. While working on this project we have focused on implementation the steering system, finding the problems opposing to implement this system & finding solutions for those problems. During this project we have designed total 5 steering systems, each time improving & making it better & better.
