The Method of Automatic Adjustment of the Convergence of the Controlled Wheels a Motor Vehicle in Motion

Purpose: automatic maintenance of the parallelism of the planes of rotation of the controlled wheels of the vehicle during movement under various modes and conditions, which contributes to minimal tire wear, reduced resistance to movement and fuel consumption. The main idea: in the control system for the convergence of the steering wheels, the regulating effect is turned off until the optimal convergence value is reached for the time interval (or angle of rotation) of the inertial adjustment, depending on the mode and driving conditions of the vehicle. Results: the dependences of the main parameters (time or angle of rotation) of the inertial control phase for the following modes of movement of the vehicle are determined: uniform movement, acceleration, movement on the rise, braking, rolling motion. The obtained dependences have scientific novelty and practical significance for the implementation of automatic control of the convergence of the controlled wheels of a motor vehicle in the process of movement.
