Vehicle parameters and operation conditions play a critical role in vehicular handling and stability. This study aimed to evaluate vehicle stability based on cornering tire stiffness integrated with vehicle parameters. A passenger vehicle is considered in which a two-state linear bicycle model is developed in the Matlab/Simulink. The effect of the vehicle parameters on lateral vehicle stability has been investigated and analyzed. The investigated parameters included CG longitudinal position, wheelbase, and tire cornering stiffness. Furthermore, the effects of load variation and vehicle speed were addressed. Based on a Fishhook steering maneuver, the lateral stability criteria represented in lateral acceleration, yaw rate, vehicle sideslip angle, tire sideslip angles, and the lateral tire force were analyzed. The results demonstrated that the parameters that affect the lateral vehicle stability the most are the cornering stiffness coefficient and the CG longitudinal location. The findings also indicated a positive correlation between vehicle properties and lateral handling and stability.

“…Dynamic simulation is considered as an effective approach in vibration design of vehicles. Abdelkareem and Xu [3] conducted a bounce and pitch simulation of a half suspension of a heavy truck with 6 DOFs and performed vehicle-level simulations using a 23-degree-of-freedom full truck semitrailer mathematical model with random road surface model [4]. It was also illustrated that the loading condition had considerable effect on vibration modes of vehicle, and the ride performance could be adjusted through the design of seat suspension [5].…”

The ride comfort and the cargo safety are of great importance in the vibration design of heavy-duty vehicle. Traditional ride comfort design method based on the response of components of vehicles or interaction between human and seat overlooks the most direct criterion, the response of occupants, which makes the optimisation not targeted enough. It will be better to conduct the ride comfort design with the biodynamic response of driver. To this end, a 17-degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) vertical-pitch-roll vehicle dynamic model of a three-axle heavy-duty truck coupled with a 7 DOFs human model is developed. The ride comfort of human body under the vertical, the pitch, and the roll vibrations can be evaluated with the weighted root-mean-square (r.m.s.) acceleration of the driver in multiple directions. The flexibilities of chassis and carriage are also considered to improve the accuracy of the prediction of the ride comfort and to constrain the mounting optimisation of cab and carriage. After validation, the sensitivity analysis of the mounting system, the suspensions, and arrangement of sprung masses is carried out and significant factors to ride vibration are identified. The optimal combination of design parameters is obtained with the objective of minimizing the vibration of the driver and carriage simultaneously. The optimisation result shows that the weighted driver vibration is reduced by 27.9% and the carriage vibration is reduced by 31.8% at various speeds.

Energy saving is a goal for many scholars in different fields of automotive engineering such as the transmission system, 23–26 driving cycle, 27–29 suspension system, 30–32 magnetorheological dampers, 33 energy harvesting, 34 and so on. Sun et al 30 declared that the interconnected system causes energy reduction due to not using compressor.…”

In this study, the focus is on reducing the energy that is consumed by a compressor for providing high air pressure in the reservoir. A new air suspension configuration is presented that is titled active interconnected air suspension with outsourced air pressure. In this configuration, a compressor is used to charge the tank; meanwhile, the air springs are connected. For minor excitation, first, the air flows between air springs to control roll angle and height adjustment. If the situation of body position gets worse, the compressed air tank compensates to keep the body not generating roll angle and bounce. This methodology has a benefit. This configuration conserves compressed air in the tank in minor road elevation. The optimized controllers are designed to control roll angle and bounce, but they determine the outsourced air mass flow rate. For switching between interconnection and outsourced mode, there are some rules defined based on game theory for a trade-off between high dynamical performance quality of the vehicle and reduction of energy consumption. The optimization is done on the rules to keep both aspects minimum as much as possible. A three-axle heavy truck is used, and its performance is under discussion on an uneven rough road. Roll angle is improved progressively in novel air suspension configuration, and the energy consumption is reduced. In the default condition, the roll angle is improved 72% from the passive case and 39% from the conventional configuration. Furthermore, the energy consumption optimized version reduces 14% from the non-optimized case and 46% from the outsourced mode. By importing road power spectral density type E and type G, as the short domain and high-frequency vibrations, to two sides of the truck, it is inferred that the vehicle could remain on interconnection mode entirely without using the compressor.
