3. 2. Rolling resistance during cornering - Impact of lateral forces for heavy-duty vehicles

   University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

   Author : Helena Olofson; [2015]
   Keywords : Bicycle model; lateral forces; rolling resistance; velocity optimization; Cykelmodell; sidokrafter; rullmotstånd; hastighetsoptimering; bränsleförbrukning;

   Abstract : We consider first the single-track bicycle model and state relations between the tires’ lateral forces and the turning radius. From the tire model, a relation between the lateral forces and slip angles is obtained. The extra rolling resistance forces from cornering are by linear approximation obtained as a function of the slip angles. READ MORE
