Abstract
This paper presents the experiences using Michelin's thermo-mechanical TaMeTirE tyre model for real-time handling applications in the field of advanced passenger car simulation. Passenger car handling simulations were performed using the tyre model in a full-vehicle real-time environment in order to assess TaMeTirE's level of consistency with real on-track handling behaviour. To achieve this goal, a first offline comparison with a state-of-the-art handling tyre model was carried out on three handling manoeuvres. Then, online real-time simulations of steering wheel steps and slaloms in straight line were run on Daimler's driving simulator by skilled and unskilled drivers. Two analytical tyre temperature effects and two inflation pressure effects were carried out in order to feel their impact on the handling behaviour of the vehicle. This paper underlines the realism of the handling simulation results performed with TaMeTirE, and shows the significant impact of a pressure or a temperature effect on the handling behaviour of a car.
