Analytical Modeling of Driver Response in Crash Avoidance Maneuvering. Volume 3. A Trim Model and Computer Program for Determining Ground Vehicle Steady State Operating Conditions and Quasilinear Stability Coefficients

摘要

The report describes a series of models and computer programs designed to analyze vehicle handling and driver/vehicle interaction in a variety of severe (crash avoidance) maneuvering scenarios. The technical background, model specification and a variety of applications are given in Volume I. Volume II gives the technical background and user's instructions for a tire model analysis program. The background and user's guide for a program analyzing vehicle steady state handling performance is given in Volume III. Volume IV contains user guides for linear and nonlinear computer simulation programs for analyzing vehicle and combined driver/vehicle handling and maneuvering performance. Volume IV also contains User's instructions for a simple interactive part task driving simulator designed to demonstrate driver steering control behavior.
