Rolling Resistance (My) Produced by hysteresis in tire tread and sidewall rubber My = (Fz)(x)
Braking Force (Fx) S = (V – wR) / V 0 < S < 1
Braking Force (Fx) S = (V – wR) / V 0 < S < 1 Longitudinal Stiffness, CS, is the slope of the Fx vs. S curve at S=0
Driving Force (Fx) S = (wR-V) / wR 0 < S < 1
Lateral Force (Fy) and Aligning Moment (Mz) Cornering Stiffness, C, is the slope of the Fy vs. curve at =0

Pacejka 2002 : 117 parameters needed • Very good fit to experimental data • More complicated force and moment equations Tire Models: Mathematical Functions to Fit Measured Data Fiala: 6 parameters needed to describe a tire • Easy to understand the physical significance of all parameters • Simple force and moment equations. • Does not handle combined slip • Effects of normal force and camber are largely ignored.
