Abstract

Vehicle handling describes how a car responds and reacts to the driver’s inputs as well as the sensations a driver feels. This chapter first introduces the classic tire models (both physics-based and empirical) and vehicle models (different degrees of freedom) for handling performance. Then, the tire-vehicle handling testing and analysis are discussed, followed by objective and subjective evaluation methods. Last, the simulation approaches for handling are presented, including tire force and moment predictions under different slip conditions and vehicle response computation under different maneuvers. Driver-in-the-loop technologies merge the test and simulation, providing subjective input from expert drivers before physical prototypes are available.
