Abstract

The Ackermann principle was developed when it became possible to separately control the four wheels of a moving object in the process of turning. In this case, two tasks arose. The first task was to control the wheels to ensure their pure rolling when the object is turned. The solution of this problem was in the Ackermann principle. The second task was to implement this principle in a specific mechanism. The paper analyzes the mechanisms common in modern cars in order to assess their compliance with the Ackermann principle. The method of analysis was in generating and modeling a finite-difference equation describing the process of transferring the movement of the steering wheel to the movement required to turn the wheels.
