Summary:

Manual steering is largely employed on emergent markets and it demands high level performance to be competitive. To achieve customer satisfaction, it is important to understand physically and be able to quantify what is good performance regarding imperative steering aspects. Nevertheless, global projects and quality management require objective measurements and reference numbers. The strategy defining the measurements in order to compare among development steps and benchmark must be studied carefully. Objective measurements and subjective evaluation correlation is necessary to define the reference data. In this project, several cars were evaluated and measured performing standard maneuvers. The maneuvers were performed to obtain appropriated and enough information to understand the performance and to do the correlation. The subjective evaluation was normalized and; using objective data, parameters were calculated to represent properly and in a robust form the driver fills. In this way it is possible by the means of numbers to predict the subjective performance of vehicles
