Abstract

Driving fatigue and even arm numbness can be caused by steering wheel jitters with engine idling. Objective measurement and subjective evaluation are applied of the analysis on the influencing factor of steering wheel jitter in two conditions, engine idling with air conditioning on and off. The prior optimization on steering system stiffness result shows that steering wheel vibration center acceleration is 0.053g when the air condition is off, as reduced by 30%, this value reduced to 0.139g when the air conditioner is activated, as reduced by 26%. The first order frequency of the steering system is higher than 32Hz, having avoided the engine idle vibration frequency .The score of subjective evaluation with air conditioning off and on is 6 and 6.5 respectively, as acceptable.
