Side Forces and Stabilization Moment Reasearch for Winter and Summer Tires

Vehicle subjected to specified external excitations is subjected to three-axial loads. Vehicle movements generated directional forces are transmitted through the coupling tire with the road. The value of these forces depends on the angle of the lateral drift, vehicle parameters and surface type. Lateral drift forces and moment stabilizing direct interferences on the front tire and indirectly by steering to the driver. An excessive increase in these forces makes it difficult to control the vehicle, and exceeded the limit of grip may result in loss of vehicle control. The paper presents results of experimental determination of the lateral drift forces and moment stabilizing the running on the machine using five-component hub.
