Dynamical Behaviour of Tires and Vehicles

In this area of ​​research, dynamic driving maneuvers are examined in addition to short-term dynamic processes (crash). The central point in both areas is the creation of models. In addition to the investigation of new phenomena in the dynamics of vehicles, the influence of active components plays an essential role. Furthermore, tire models are created that allow the dynamic behavior of tires to be described, mainly using phenomenological-physical models in which the aim is to reproduce the physics of the tires as far as possible. That part of the tire’s properties that is difficult to access through physics (up to now) is represented phenomenologically. The advantage of this approach lies in the rapid creation of models, which, due to the physical model components, allows parameters to be changed that can easily be determined from measurements.

FTire models are also used, which can be completely parameterized with the help of the laboratory’s own test facilities. Applications of the models range from the classic areas of driving dynamics to misuse and crash area. In addition to establishing models, tests can also be carried out to identify the parameters of these models.
