EFFECTS OF PASSENGER AND CARGO LOADING ON A MOTOR VEHICLE'S MASS PROPERTIES
This scientific poster presents an approach identifying possible passenger and cargo load configurations, as well as accurately calculating and displaying their effect on a motor vehicle's mass properties. The approach has three separate and distinct operations. First, the approach requires consideration of passenger and load configurations that are possible for the vehicle of interest. Second, data acquisition and calculations are utilized. The calculation accounts for changes in vehicle mass properties due to suspension deflection. Last, the mass properties that are calculated must be displayed so they can be used effectively to benefit a vehicle's safety. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 880023.
