An anti-jackknife steering system for an articulated bus is provided. A hydraulic turntable is used for actively generating a calculated force to balance the inertia of a front frame and a trailer frame. Consequently, the joint angle is adjusted to an optimal range, and the possibility of causing an oversteering event or a jackknife event is largely reduced. Moreover, a wheel brake device cooperates with the hydraulic turntable to assist in the steering action of the articulated bus on a snowy road. Consequently, while the articulated bus is driven on a slippery road, the possibility of causing collision is minimized.
