Regression equations based on the experi- mental data from several countries are given to describe their dependencies. The peak value of longitudiinal adhesion coefficient has a linear relationship with tire slip angle, but peak value of lateral has a complicated relationship; the optimal slip ratio of longitudinal has an exponent function relationship, the optimal slip ratio of lateral almost has nothinng to do with tire slipangle.展开更多

In various stability tests, different models with different tires from the market were tested. A successful outcome of this research would generate an efficient tire selection process and improve the handling of a trailer attached to a vehicle while maximizing fuel efficiency. In this study, different accurate tire models using the magic formula were developed in vehicle dynamics modelling and simulation software. These models were then simulated on on-road conditions to predict vehicle and trailer behaviour under different conditions within the software. Two distinct tests were conducted, the J-Turn test and the Double Lane change test. The results of these tests were used to evaluate the handling characteristics and decide on a better tire size for the trailer attached to the vehicle.展开更多
