Notes
- 1.
Having the steering on the rear axle is often the first choice for forklifts, wheel loaders, etc., because with this concept the attachments, such as stacker forks and buckets, can be more easily brought into position at the front. For road vehicles, the pure rear axle steering system is prohibited in regions where ECE-R 79 [2] applies (i.e. Europe).
- 2.
However, it is also the case that drivers normally become accustomed to different steering systems very quickly, as long as the steering behavior remains within acceptable boundaries.
- 3.
The same relationship is also found, if analogously to Eq. 3.2, expressions for cos δa and cos δi are set and \(\cot = \frac{\cos }{\sin }\) is used.
