Simulation of a Motor Vehicle’s Motion on the Basis of a Turning with the Steering Wheel Release

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the selected phenomena related to a motor vehicle’s motion have been considered based on a computer simulation in MSC Adams/Car. The vehicle’s model performed a turning maneuver with the steering wheel release under different road conditions. All simulations have been performed based on the sports two-seater vehicle’s model, at the initial speed of 70 km/h on the flat and randomly uneven road. This enabled us to observe the selected phenomena along the road long enough to relate them to different aspects of road traffic safety in unusual situations. For uneven road, the same profiles were assumed for the left and the right wheel of the vehicle, with two coefficient values determining the maximum height of these irregularities.
