Development of an Off-Road Capable Tire Model for Vehicle Dynamics Simulations

The tire is one of the most complex subsystems of the vehicle. It is, however, the least understood of all the components of a car. Without a good tire model, the vehicle simulation handling response will not be realistic, especially for maneuvers that require a combination of braking/traction and c...
