COMPUTER SIMULATION OF THE DYNAMICS OF PASSENGER VEHICLES

It will be demonstrated how, with the aid of simulation models, calculations can be performed with regard to the transverse dynamics and, following expansion of the model, with regard to the longitudinal dynamics of passenger vehicles. These calculations serve both to improve basic understanding of vehicle dynamics and to solve specific problems frequently encountered in the development of a new vehicle.
