Abstract

The automotive vehicle dynamics is related to the movements of automotive vehicles - automobiles, vans, trucks, buses, coaches, and special-purpose vehicles – on on/off-road surfaces. The movements of relevance are ride and turning as well as acceleration (driving) and deceleration (braking). The forces affecting on the vehicle from the tyres, gravity, and aerodynamics, resolve dynamic behaviour.
