Haptic Feedback Steering Wheel In uncoupled steering systems such as drive by wire, it is necessary for the driver to feel a simulated reaction torque related to tire/road interactions. To investigate this haptic necessity, we constructed a simple stationary force feedback steering wheel. This paper describes a low cost force feedback steering wheel system and introduces several driving events to validate the unit's fidelity. Qualitative testing was done without the use of a display to see how the feel of these road events compares to the feel of driving in a car. This low budget solution looks to simply evaluate the torque magnitude and oscillation that is fed back to the driver through the steering wheel.
