Abstract:The contribution of the tire-road slip of traction wheels to the total resistance opposing the motion of a light-duty commercial vehicle has been investigated through the simulation of several homologation and custom driving cycles. The calculation of the contribution of the tire slip losses was based on the estimation of the longitudinal tire slip, by means of Pacejka’s MF5.2 tire model. In this work, the computational steps required to evaluate this contribution were implemented in a previously developed fue… Show more
