Abstract

Recent statistics shows that 93% of Malaysians own a car. This implies that enrollment to driving schools is also high and will continue to increase. Thus accidents during driving lessons are more common these days. The availability of a dual brake system for the driving instructor may not be adequate. This project aims to develop a dual steering system to enable the driving school instructor the ability to correct the vehicle steering when the need arises. A hardware structure using the already existing rack and pinion mechanism system with a DC motor assembly and a rotary encoder is proposed. Fuzzy logic is used as the control algorithm which is integrated in the microcontroller to control the proposed system. The obtained result shows that the intergrated software and hardware achieved the intended capability with the response time less than a second and steering angular error of 4 degrees.
