Abstract: Mathematical models for vehicle handling are dependent on complex expressions for the behaviour of the tyres. Researchers have developed simplified models of tyre friction forces each for a specific purpose and limited application. This paper considers the respective merits of several tyre friction models.

Keywords: mathematical modelling; tyres; tyre friction forces; vehicle handling; tyre characteristics; tyre moment; tyre force; vehicle design.
