Mathematical Formulation of Wheeled Vehicle Dynamics for Hybrid Computer Simulation

Abstract

The report contains the mathematical equations of motion required to construct a hybrid model simulation of a vehicle operating on rigid terrain. They are grouped roughly by vehicle components: sprung mass, unsprung mass, suspension, drive train/brakes, wheels and tires. Equations representing both the double A-arm and the solid axle suspension system and two different tire models (one assuming the 'friction circle' and the other the friction ellipse concept of total tire force) are included.
