Magic Formula Tyre Model Application for a Tyre-Ice Interaction

摘要

Magic Formula (MF) tyre model is widely used for the analysis of tyre behavior in different driving situations. The model is mostly used to fit the simulation and experimental data slip curves. As there are many modifications of the MF, this paper presents a literature analysis of MF application and fitting techniques. A short review of other empirical tyre models was also made. At the end, a simple least squares minimisation technique was used to fit the experimental data of longitudinal tyre performance on ice. Measurements were performed with the inner drum test rig in the laboratory. In general, the fitting showed a very good accuracy.
