DIGITAL SIMULATION FOR AUTOMOBILE MANEUVERS

A new all-digital simulation of automobile handling allows severe maneuvers involving braking or acceleration and cornering. A novel feature is the incorporation of closed-loop control based on a mathematical model of the human driver. The program is modular and well-documented. The model includes provisions for nonlinear tire and suspension forces and moments; it also allows the user to switch off the nonlinearities and to include an antilock brake system.
