In this report, major emphasis is given to the results of three alternative steering techniques using the VLACS test vehicle and simulations. Use of test data for mathematical model validation is discussed. The three types of steering systems for rubber-tired transit vehicles which have been investigated are: (1) mechanical sensing without power steering (herding); (2) mechanical sensing with power steering; and (3) electromagnetic (wire-follower) sensing.
