 OBJECTIVE
 Car safety is the avoidance of automobile
accidents or the minimization of harmful
effects of accidents, in particular as pertaining
to human life and health.

 Special safety features have been built into

cars for years, some for the safety of car's
occupants only, and some for the safety of
others.
STEERING
SYSTEM
 STEERING SYSTEM
 The steering system helps the driver to guide the
moving vehicle on the road and turns the
vehicle right or left according to his wishes.
 Safety of any automobile is mainly depends on
the performance of steering and braking
systems.
 Automobiles are controlled by steering system.
Directional changes are provided by this
steering system to the moving automobiles..
STEERING SYSTEM
 FUNCTIONS OF STEERING
SYSTEM
 In steering systems, the rotary motion of the
steering wheel is converted into angular
turning of the front wheels.

 Steering is done by moving the axes of

rotation of the front wheels with respect to
the chassis frame.
 WORKING OPERATION

 A link is fixed to the

rack and pinion
steering
arrangement. The
rack and pinion
steering is moving to
one direction,
automatically the
head lamp is turn in
that direction.
 MAJOR COMPONENTS

The main components of the project are,

 Rack and pinion Steering
 Links
 Head lamp
 RACK AND PINION

 This is common manual type of steering gear

box is used in most of the vehicles.
 In this type of steering a pinion is provided the
bottom end of the steering column.
 In which, rotary motion of the pinion of
steering wheel is converted into linear motion
in the rack to turn the front wheels.
ISOMETRIC VIEW
 ADVANTAGES
 To provide smooth and safety ride in curved
roads especially in mountains.
 To provide mind free ride for the motorist.
 To provide the nation with an accident free
roads.
 Low Cost Automation Project.
 The head lamp aligns in two directions (Left,
right).
 DISADVANTAGES

 Additional cost is required.

 It occupies more space.

 APPLICATIONS
 This system can be used in heavy moving vehicles
such as buses and trucks etc.
 Thus it can be useful for the following types of
vehicles;
1) MARUTI
2) AMBASSADOR
3) FIAT
4) MAHINDRA
5) TATA
