Analysis on the Dynamic Performance of Vehicles

Abstract:

The current accelerated developments within the automotive sector have triggered a series of performance, comfort, safety and design-related issues. Hence, oftentimes manufacturers are challenged to combine various elements so as to achieve an attractive design, without diminishing the vehicle’s dynamic performance. In order to determine the vehicle dynamic performances we carried out an analysis by two methods. In the first part of the paper, we have used the analytical method to establish the dynamic performances of a vehicle. The second part of our study addresses another method to determine the star performances of the vehicle by means of computerized simulations. The first test aimed to determine vehicle starting performances for two vehicle models, with similar technical configuration, but with the same initial data. In the second test, we aimed at determining the start performance for the same car model, with the same initial data, but for different adhesion coefficients
