Course Objective |
In order to provide a safe driving behaviour and robust vehicle design, the forces acting on a road vehicle in various road and driving conditions must be determined. Within the scope of this course, vehicle dynamics and mathematical modelling concepts are introduced first. Then, some basic and sophisticated vehicle models are presented. The general theory of tyres, adhesion, driving resistance, driving limits, driveline dynamics, braking dynamics, dynamics of suspension systems and dynamics of steering systems are discussed. Finally, the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle on the road plane is analysed using the single track model. |
