  10. Vehicle Dynamics • Vehicle dynamics focuses on these three main aspects: • Ride • Handling • Longitudinal dynamics

  11. Vehicle Dynamics: Ride Ride: vertical dynamics or behaviour on ondulating road profileMethods: multibody systems dynamics (left) with hundreds of d.o.f. and nonlinearities and/or vibration analysis (right) with few d.o.f. (i.e. 4)

  12. Vehicle Dynamics: Ride Four post three axis full scale physical test

  13. Vehicle Dynamics: Ride Ride influenced by suspension characteristics: mass, stiffness, damping, kinematics. Left McPherson, right rigid axle

  14. Vehicle Dynamics: Ride Quality of ride must be evaluated in relation to application (sport/army or standard vehicle) and response of human being to vibration (tolerance diagram)

  15. Vehicle Dynamics: Handling Vehicle behaviour on curved path. Methods: multibody approach with hundreds of d.o.f. and/or reduced models (i.e. Bicycle model with 3 d.o.f.)

  16. Vehicle Dynamics: Handling Typical use of bicycle model: linear state equation relating yaw and lateral speed with steering angle, lateral speed after a step steering

  17. Vehicle Dynamics: Handling Bosch’s test facility is a complex track comprised of μ surfaces, traction hills, Vehicle Dynamics Area (VDA) and various other special test surfaces. The anti-lock brake test track included 2,500 ft. of acceleration and test road. The VDA features a 21-acre bituminous test pad that is 1,150 ft. long with a width from 630-880 ft. A 36 ft. x 4,300 ft. loop road to access the pad was designed with a 1,300 ft. parabolic cross section curve at the west end for testing and acceleration onto the VDA pad. Ghafari designed the original test track in 1990, as well the VDA replacement in 2008.

  18. Vehicle Dynamics: Handling Handling quality can be improved by a control system, based on vehicle simplified model.

  19. Longitudinal Dynamics Vehicle behaviour in rectilinear path. At constant speed: power absorbed, fuel consumption, max speed and max grade. Load on axles. Effect of torque distribution on axles. During braking/acceleration: optimal load distribution between axles and…

  20. Longitudinal Dynamics Time required to reach a given speed, gear shiftng and choice: 1-2 d.o.f. model.

  21. Longitudinal dynamics Longitudinal behaviour can be improved by control systems: ABS for braking and ASR/TCS (anti slip regulation, traction control system) for acceleration

  22. Longitudinal dynamics • ASR (Anti Spin Regulation) or TCS (Traction Control System)

  23. Vehicle Safety • Active Safety (accident avoidance): • Handling and Ride • ABS, ESP, ASR, EBD • Acoustic signal • Lighting • Field of vision (mirrors, wipers, windshield) • Tyre condition • Passive safety (Mitigation of injuries): • Car Body crashwortiness (front, side, rear collision; rollover) • Restraint system (seat belts, airbags) • Vehicle compatibility • Pedestrian protection

  24. Crashwortiness / occupant protection
