Tests of lateral acceleration during a controlled skid - various types of vehicles

Abstract

This article presents the values of lateral acceleration during controlled slip for a passenger vehicle and a city bus. Skidding is one of the most dangerous road situations that can occur while driving a vehicle. They can happen to anyone, without exception whether someone has experience or is a young driver. The lateral accelerations during the controlled skidding presented in the article showed higher values for a passenger vehicle. The article refers to drawing attention to the lateral accelerations acting on the vehicle during the slip. It depends on the driving system of the driver whether he will be able to make the correct choice in a dangerous situation. Therefore, improving driving techniques, especially in a skidding situation, should be generally available to drivers.
