In this study, the steady state cornering behavior of a vehicle is investigated by using a numerical model that has parameters associated with roll motion. The nonlinear characteristics of tire cornering forces and aligning torques are presented in analytical forms using the magic formula. The sets of nonlinear algebraic equations that govern the cornering motion are solved by the Newton-Raphson iteration method. The vehicle design parameters are measured by SPMD(Suspension Parameter Measuring Device), and its results are verified by carrying out a skid pad test. The design parameters that are most affecting the steady state cornering behavior are classified into four factors, and the contributions of the factors to understeer gradient are then calculated.

In this paper the effects of suspension design parameters on the steady-state cornering performance of vehicles are studied. To investigate the understeer characteristics of vehicles, steady-state cornering equatons are derived from a two-track model which is expanded from a simple one track model. The effects of the suspension design parameters as well as those of lateral load transfer are taken into consideration. To verify the equation, a skid pad test was carried out with a domestic passenger car. The design parameters of the vehicle are measured using a Suspension Parameter Measuring Device(SPMD). Based on these results, parameter studies are carried out to determine the effect of design parameters on the cornering performance of a vehicle, both in low and high acceleration region.

In this study, a driver model based on the lead-lag controller for stable maneuver of a highly nonlinear, multi-dimensional, numerically stiff multibody vehicle model according to the various handling test requirements such as steady-state cornering, double lange change, etc. is presented The lead-lag controller is developed with lead and lag compensation. which use the transfer function with cross-over frequency by frequency response method. The proposed driver model is applied to a vehicle model in steady-state and slalom maneuver to verify its effectiveness and validity. The results show that the proposed path control strategy is excellent both in pursuing the desired course and stability of the vehicle.

In order to investigate how the chassis frame stiffness including body structure affects vehicle handling characteristics, in this paper, objective test evaluations such as steady state circle maneuvering test and pulse input transient test are performed. The basic steer characteristics can be obtained from stability factor and 4 parameter method is used to evaluate vehicle handling characteristics between original vehicle and the other with reinforced chassis. The result shows that vehicle with reinforced chassis has advantages in handling characteristics.

In this study a path control scheme of simulation models of various vehicles to evaluate their handling characteristic is developed. Based on the forward target method, path deviation error is estimated and the required steering effort to reduce the error is computed by Ziegler-Nichols PID control rule. Velocity control model is also included in the proposed path control scheme to achieve the desired velocity. The path control scheme is implemented on a full vehicle model to perform ISO test procedures, such as steady state cornering, lane change, and sinusoidal input, etc. Through the simulations of ISO test procedures and comparison with actual tests, effectiveness and validity of the path control model is demonstrated.

This paper presents a mathematical vehicle model to analyze the dynamic characteristics of a vehicle undergoing braking in a turn. Two kinds of field tests, braking in a steady state turn and braking in a J-turn are performed. Computer simulation results are compared with test results and the braking effect on a vehicle cornering behavior is examined. Also, sensitivity analysis is applied to determine the effect of design parameter changes on the response of vehicle dynamic system.

In this paper, a full vehicle model is developed to analyze toe and camber changes due to rack height variation and compliance. The AutoDyn7 program developed in G7 project is used for the computer simulation. Steady state cornering test was done to find the understeer gradient. Imposing a pulse steer input, Frequency Response Function(FRF) of yaw rate and lateral accelerations were evaluated. To verify the stability, the rhombus using four parameters is employed. Steer characteristics were evaluated by changing the rack height and the bushing lateral stiffiness. which installed between the low control arm and the chassis.
