ABSTRACT:
A steering system for a multiple-axle vehicle includes a front axle steering arrangement steering at least one pair of front wheels connected to at least one front axle, a middle axle steering arrangement steering at least one pair of middle wheels connected to at least one middle axle, and a first connector operationally connecting the middle axle steering arrangement to the front axle steering arrangement. A rear axle steering arrangement steers at least one pair of rear wheels connected to at least one rear axle, and an adjustable connector adjustably connects the middle axle steering arrangement to the rear axle steering arrangement. A controller controls the middle axle steering arrangement based on sensor output indicative of a ratio of a steering deflection angle of the front wheels to a steering deflection angle of the rear wheels.
