Aim:
The course gives basic knowledge of a vehicles longitudinal and
lateral dynamics, and the control systems that are used to give the
vehicle desirable driving characteristics. After the course the
student shall know how to:
- Exemplify and describe fundamental principles of vehicular dynamics.
- Describe technical solutions and control strategies.
- Analyse and solve problems within vehicular dynamics.
- Model, simulate, and evaluate problems within vehicular dynamics.
- Implement laboratory experiments and present the results in writing.
|
|
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Automatic Control, Engineering Mechanics, and familiarity with Matlab/Simulink.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Organisation:
The course is organized in lectures, problem solving and laboratory experiments.
|
|
Course contents:
- Vehicle models: Vehicle dynamics including coordinates, chassis, suspension, stability analysis. Quarter-car and two-wheel models.
- Tire models: Slip, skid and slip angle. Camber and caster angle. Pacejka's Magic formula
- Vehicle properties: Steady-state handling, transient response and directional stability.
- Vehicle parameters and states: Methods to estimate e.g. speed, friction forces and side slip.
- Vehicle control: ABS, TRC and ESP systems. Active differentials and suspensions.
- Driver and road models: Models for road profiles and driver behaviour.
