Multiobjective Optimization of Vehicle Handling and Stability Based on ADAMS

Abstract

In order to improve the steering characteristics, roll characteristics, and lateral characteristics of heavy commercial vehicles, a multiobjective handling stability comprehensive score optimization model (MHSCS optimization model) was proposed in this study. In this study, the main factors affecting the steering characteristics, roll characteristics, and lateral characteristics are determined by combining the road test method and ADAMS software simulation analysis method. Based on the above road tests and ADAMS software simulation analysis, the MHSCS optimization model was proposed with “understeering degree,” “vehicle roll angle”, and “rearward amplification (RWA)” as evaluation indexes, and the response surface method combined with genetic algorithm was used to carry out multiobjective optimization of heavy commercial vehicle. ADAMS simulation results show that the comprehensive improvement degree of steering characteristics, roll characteristics, and lateral characteristics of a heavy commercial vehicle after optimization is 15.26%. Finally, the field road test results show that the scoring error between the comprehensive scoring optimization model and the real vehicle test was controlled at 0.4%, which proves the accuracy of the optimization model established in this study and effectively improves the handling stability of heavy commercial vehicles.
