How Does Vehicle Dynamics Work?
Vehicle dynamics work by analysing how various components, such as tyres, brakes, suspension, & steering systems, interact with each other and with the contact surface.
1. Driver Input: When a driver steers, accelerates, or brakes, they exert forces and moments on the vehicle.
2. Vehicle Response: These driver inputs cause the vehicle to accelerate, decelerate, change direction, or alter its roll & pitch angles.
3. Forces and Moments: The forces can act on the vehicle in three directions: longitudinal (forward and backwards), lateral (side to side), & vertical (up and down).
4. Dynamic Response: The vehicle's dynamic response is a combination of these forces & moments, as well as the vehicle's physical characteristics (weight, suspension, etc.).
5. Control Systems: The vehicle uses systems like ESC & TCS to automatically adjust braking and power for improved stability and control.
6. Predictive Control: Vehicle dynamics control systems predict instability using driver inputs & sensor data and respond by adjusting braking or engine power to maintain control.
