Steering feel and quality are terms commonly used in the automotive industry when describing vehicle steering systems. However, a procedure for their quantification does not exist, nor a concise definition of what they constitute. As technology improves, the standard of production cars continually increases. Often, the factor differentiating two vehicles is difficult to express in physical terms, as is the case with steering feel and quality. The methods outlined in this thesis are a step towards the quantification of these differences which, until now, have been identifiable only by subjective opinions. Technological innovations, such as steer-by-wire and electronic steering control, have a high degree of functionality but can have adverse effects on steering feel. It is therefore important that there exists a method to quantify such effects on steering quality. This thesis brings us closer to answering the questions asked when assessing steering systems by detailing what constitutes good feel and control properties and further provides an objective assessment method to allow quantification.
