A TECHNIQUE FOR THE VALIDATION OF VEHICLE MODELS USING THE ROAD SIMULATOR
The objective of this paper is to show how the road simulator is used to provide the engineer with a validated mathematical model which he can then use to perform a parametric study to improve ride comfort. Specific areas of discussion are: mathematical model verification; correlation of model and simulator data; parameter adjustment to obtain improved ride. As a result of this study, the design engineer has a more precise vehicle model than has been available, and the test engineer has a verified laboratory simulation technique for vertical dynamic terrain inputs. /GMRL/
