International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 4, No. 5, 1983

Abstract: The present paper deals with a computer simulation study of a vehicle's directional response in combined steering and braking manoeuvres: 1. Braking during lane change; 2. Braking in steady turn. A non-linear 7 degree of freedom vehicle model is utilized in the simulation study. The model is described in part 1 of this paper. The effect of road surface condition, front/rear wheel locking time and tyre-traction parameters (longitudinal and lateral stiffness) on vehicle direction stability are investigated.
