Abstract

The subject area of vehicle dynamics describes, among other things, the relationship between driver actions, vehicle characteristics and the vehicle’s state of motion. The motion variables result from the forces acting on the vehicle, which are imposed on the vehicle by the driver through the operation of the steering wheel and pedals via the tires.
