Analysis of lateral tyre friction dynamics1

The tyre friction model is a key part of the overall multi-body tyre dynamics model. The LuGre dynamic tyre friction model is analytically linearised for pure cornering conditions. The linearised model parameters are conveniently expressed as functions of static curve slope parameters. The linearised lateral force and self-aligning torque submodels are described by equivalent mechanical systems. The linearised model and equivalent system parameters are analysed for different slip angle and wheel centre speed operating points. An example of the application of linearised tyre friction model to tyre vibration analysis is presented as well.

Network effects of intelligent speed adaptation systems

Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) systems use in-vehicle electronic devices to enable the speed of vehicles to be regulated automatically. They are increasingly appreciated as a flexible method for speed management and control particularly in urban areas. On-road trials using a small numbers of ISA equipped vehicles have been carried out in Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK. This paper describes the developments made to enhance a traffic microsimulation model in order to represent ISA implemented across a network and the impact of this on the networks. The simulation modelling of the control system is carried out on a real-world urban network, and the impacts on traffic congestion, speed distribution and the environment assessed. The results show that ISA systems are more effective in less congested traffic conditions. Momentary high speeds in traffic are effectively suppressed, resulting in a reduction in speed variation which is likely to have a beneficial impact on safety. Whilst ISA reduces excessive traffic speeds in the network, it does not affect average journey times. In particular, the total vehicle-hours travelling at speeds below 10 km/hr have not changed, indicating that the speed control had not induced more slow-moving queues to the network. A statistically significant, eight percent, reduction in fuel consumption was found with full ISA penetration. These results are in accordance with those from field trials and they provide the basis for cost-benefit analyses on introducing ISA into the vehicle fleet. However, contrary to earlier findings from the Swedish ISA road trials, this study suggested that ISA is likely to have no significant effect on emission of gaseous pollutants CO, NO_x and HC.

《交通微观仿真分析指南》概要

近年来,交通规划软件所使用的方法从对交通量的宏观分配转变为对单个车辆的微观仿真.这一方法论的改变意味着需要对委任交通工程项目、项目管理以及对其结果进行解释等的职能部门的指导方针进行更新,以便能反映微观仿真的独特能力.与之前的模型相比,微型仿真能够更完整和详细地反映道路交通状况的内在变化.位于苏格兰的SIAS交通规划咨询公司就此编写了《微观仿真最佳咨询项目指南》和《交通微观仿真分析指南》,以帮助交通从业人员从事微观仿真项目和解释其结果.这些指导方针是基于该公司进行项目咨询和开发S-Paramics微观仿真软件的经验基础上编写而成的.
