Improvement of Mathematical Models for Simulation of Vehicle Handling. Volume 7. Technical Manual for the General Simulation

摘要

This volume is the technical manual for the general simulation. Mathematical modelling of the vehicle and of the human driver is presented in detail, as are differences between the APL simulation and the current one. Information on model validation and operating costs are also given. A comparison between two mathematical models of tire behavior is made. Extensive output for open and closed loop maneuvers is presented and analyzed.
