Abstract
A method for controlling steering orientation of a monitored vehicle including at least two steering wheels each of which is steerable independently of the other at an angle of natural orientation, the wheels belonging to a train of the vehicle. The method collects a lateral acceleration setpoint, and computes orientation setpoints of each steering wheel based on the lateral acceleration setpoint. During the operation for computing the orientation setpoints of the steering wheels, the orientation setpoints of each of the wheels of the train are computed such that the difference between the grip levels of the wheels relative to the ground is less than a threshold value.

- A method of controlling steering orientation of a driven vehicle including at least two steerable wheels each of which is orientable independently of the other according to an inherent angle of orientation, the wheels belonging to an axle assembly of the vehicle, the method comprising;
collecting a lateral acceleration setpoint; and calculating orientation setpoints for each steerable wheel as a function of the lateral acceleration setpoint, wherein during the calculating the orientation setpoints of the steerable wheels, orientation setpoints are calculated for each of the wheels of the axle assembly so that the difference between the levels of grip of the wheels with respect to the ground is less than a limit value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
