A VEHICLE DESIGN OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH ROLLING RESISTANCE REDUCTION
This paper addresses vehicular rolling resistance reduction in conjunction with improvement in ride comfort and road holding ability in a simplified vehicle design optimization problem. The three vehicle performance indices are represented respectively by the values of vehicular rolling resistance force (VRF), root mean square of vehicle body vertical acceleration (RAC), and root mean square of dynamic load between tire and road (RDL). The summation of VRF, RAC, and RDL associated with corresponding weighting coefficients is treated as the objective function to be minimized. A model for determining rolling resistance of a vehicle traversing an uneven road is presented. In this model vehicular rolling resistance force is treated as a function of the power spectral density of road elevation input. The linear vehicle system is represented by vehicle parameter dependent transfer functions.
