| Abstract: | The lateral tyre force versus slip angle and vertical load is obtained through specific tests on the single tyre or with a theoretical-empirical analysis with physical models. This study is about the possibility to use a third way: Executing a particular handling test, known as Force-Moment test, using a Flat Track Roadway Simulator (the Fiat-Elasis MTS FTRS). The understanding and the project of vehicle handling is strongly based on the knowledge of lateral tyre force response [1, 2, 3, 7]. |
