      Please conduct a steady state circular driving test according the ISO 4138 with a related test conditions.

      1. Analyse the ISO 4138 test condictions

      e.g.
      • Constant Radius:  100 m
      • Speed:  0 – max kph
      • day:      0,1 m/s²/s
      • SWA, ay , Yaw, Radius:   steady state condition 

      2. Aply the test in CarMaker according the ISO 4138 (lecture script reference slice 161-176).
      Please note, that the CarMaker sample is not within the ISO specification!

      3. Conduct the test and visualize the relevant quantities.

      4. Analyse following KPI - Key Performance Indicator:
      • Ackermann Angle(SWA)

      • Understeer Gradient

      • ay,max

      • Yaw Gain Max (RealttimeExpression Calculation within MiniManeuverCommand --> Qu::YawGain=Car.YawRate/Steer.WhlAng

      • Roll Stiffness

      • SWT max

      • Ay rel at SWT

      • Side Slip Max

      5. Optimize KPI's:
      • Improvement of ay max  as much as possible
      • Decrease of roll stiffness of >15%
      • Reduction of understeer  gradient to < 2,5 °/g
      • Reduce Ackermann >10 %

      6. Make a sensitivity study according slice 176.


      7. Create a short report of the results.

      1. Conduct a slowly increase steer test up to the physical limit with following test conditions:

      • V = 100 kph
      • Steering Angle Speed max: 13,5°/s

      2. Analyse following KPI's
      • Steer Wheel Angele-SWA at 3 m/s²
      • SWA at 4 m/s²
      • ay max
      • Roll Angle max
      • Yaw Rate max
      • SWT - Steer Wheel Torque
      • ay at SWT max
      • Yaw Gain max
