About the course
Aim
The course gives basic knowledge of a vehicles longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics, and the control systems that are used to give the vehicle desirable driving characteristics. After the course the student shall know how to:
- Describe technical solutions and control strategies.
- Analyse and solve problems within vehicular dynamics.
- Model, simulate, and evaluate problems within vehicular dynamics.
- Implement laboratory experiments.
Content
- Vehicle models: Vehicle dynamics including coordinates, chassis, suspension, stability analysis. Quarter-car and two-wheel models.
- Tire models: Slip, skid and slip angle. Camber and caster angle. Pacejka's Magic formula
- Vehicle properties: Steady-state handling, transient response and directional stability.
- Vehicle parameters and states: Methods to estimate e.g. speed, friction forces and side slip.
- Vehicle control: ABS, TRC and ESP systems. Active differentials and suspensions.
- Driver and road models: Models for road profiles and driver behaviour.
