Active steering gives drivers more precise handling and tracking : this ensures that their automobiles are more mobile and agile even on twisting roads. A planetary gear is integrated with the steering column; depending on the situation, the feature varies the angle of steering determined by the user at the wheel(superimposed steering). It increases the steering angle at lower and mid-range speeds; by contrast, at higher speeds(e. g. on motorways), the steering angle is reduced. When parking, the active steering feature makes it easier to manoeuvre by amplifying the movements of the steering wheel.  2, record 1, English, - active%20steering

Mise au point conjointement par BMW et ZF, elle permet à la servodirection de s'ajuster aux besoins du conducteur. Ainsi, pour améliorer la manœuvrabilité à basse vitesse, la servodirection devient très directe et n'exige que deux tours de volant pour passer d'une butée à l'autre. Idéal pour garer la voiture. Par contre, à haute vitesse, la servodirection redevient plus «habituelle», avec cinq tours de volant la menant d'une butée à l'autre.  3, record 1, French, - direction%20active

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Generally bikes with a short wheelbase, steep angles, and high bottom brackets are designed for manoeuvrability and sprinting; those with a longer wheelbase and shallow angles are designed for touring and easy riding. Angles today run from about 70° to 74°, wheel bases from 38" to 42", and bottom bracket heights from 10½" to 11". Steep angles apparently give better steering, short wheelbases give both a sharper turn for a given front-wheel angle and easier acceleration when sprinting. High bottom brackets enable you to take a turn at maximum speed and keep on pedaling without scraping the inside pedal on the ground.  3, record 5, English, - bottom%20bracket%20height
