VEHICLE DYNAMICS PERSPECTIVE

Vehicle dynamics perspective



Vehicle dynamics perspective

Introduction

This research is focused at gaining insight in and mapping of these fields in order to design a suspension concept that provides maximum performance and ensures optimized roll over resistance. The base-line vehicle geometric parameters are assessed, leading to a proposed increase in vehicle track width from 0.92 [m] to 1.20 [m].

Evaluation of the Vehicle

Research currently focuses on following fields;

Chassis design

Electric drive train, batteries and electric motors

Connected drive, automated mode

Vehicle dynamic simulation

Suspension design

From Table it becomes clear that compared to a common mid-sized vehicle, the CITO has an exceptionally low ratio of track ...
