Lateral acceleration tests during circular driving maneuvers and double lane change

Abstract

The paper presents the analysis of lateral acceleration based on a vehicle traveling in a circle with a double lane change. The maneuvers of driving in a circle and double lane changes were chosen not by accident. Tests were carried out on a popular brand passenger car on wet and dry surfaces. The vehicle is equipped with high-class electronic equipment that records vehicle motion parameters such as lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, speed and others. In the study, the results of maneuvers were statistically analyzed and tabulated in order to compare and influence the comfort of travellers.
