In order to meet the demands of small race car dynamics simulation, a new method of parameter identification in the Magic Formula tire model is presented in this work, based on an analysis of the Magic Formula tire model structure. A high-precision tire model used for vehicle dynamics simulation is established via this method. It is difficult for students to build a high-precision tire model because of the complexity of widely used tire models such as Magic Formula and UniTire. At a pure side slip condition, building a lateral force model is an example, which illustrate the utilization of a multilayer feed-forward neural network to build an intelligent tire model conveniently. In order to fully understand the difference between the two models, a two-degrees-of-freedom (2 DOF) vehicle model is established. The advantages, disadvantages, and applicable scope of the two tire models are discussed after comparing the simulation results of the 2 DOF model with the Magic Formula and intelligent tire model.

Abstract Easy-to-use tire models for vehicle dynamics have been persistently studied for such applications as control design and model-based on-line estimation. This paper proposes a modified combined-slip tire model based on Dugoff tire. The proposed model takes emphasis on less time consumption for calculation and uses a minimum set of parameters to express tire forces. Modification of Dugoff tire model is made on two aspects: one is taking different tire/road friction coefficients for different magnitudes of slip and the other is employing the concept of friction ellipse. The proposed model is evaluated by comparison with the LuGre tire model. Although there are some discrepancies between the two models, the proposed combined-slip model is generally acceptable due to its simplicity and easiness to use. Extracting parameters from the coefficients of a Magic Formula tire model based on measured tire data, the proposed model is further evaluated by conducting a double lane change maneuver, and simulation results show that the trajectory using the proposed tire model is closer to that using the Magic Formula tire model than Dugoff tire model.

Simulation Results

In this paper, a control oriented rational tire model is developed and incorporated in a two-track vehicle dynamics model for the prospective design of vehicle dynamics controllers. The tire model proposed in this paper is an enhancement over previous rational models which have taken into account only the peaking and saturation behavior disregarding all other force generation characteristics. Simulation results have been conducted to compare the dynamics of a vehicle model equipped with a Magic Formula tire model, a rational tire model available in the literature and the present rational tire model. It has been observed that the proposed tire model results in vehicle responses that closely follow those obtained with the Magic Formula even for extreme driving scenarios conducted on roads with low adhesion coefficient.

Abstract In the study of vehicle dynamics, the accurate description of tire mechanical characteristics is the basis and key of vehicle dynamics simulation. An innovative tire model is proposed based on fuzzy algorithm and a sinusoidal membership function is used to design fuzzy rules. In order to ensure the accuracy of tire behavior calculation, this model is driven by a small amount of experimental data of tire mechanical characteristics. This tire model consists of four layers of fuzzy systems, each of which has a knowledge base. The data in knowledge base I is obtained by experiments, and the data of knowledge base II is computed by the upper system, and so is the later system. Then, the input signal, the change rate of side slip angle and slip rate, is considered to improve the calculation accuracy of the model. The proposed fuzzy tire model can accurately predict the longitudinal force, lateral force and self-aligning torque of the tire under unknown conditions. Finally, by comparing the fuzzy tire model with the experimental data, it is found that the maximum RRMSE (Relative Root Mean Square Error) value is not more than 0.14. It is proved that the model can accurately describe the tire
mechanical characteristics under combined conditions.

ABSTRACT Vehicle-based tire testing can potentially make it easier to reparametrize tire models for different road surfaces. A passenger car equipped with external sensors was used to measure all input and output signals of the standard tire interface during a ramp steer maneuver at constant velocity. In these measurements, large lateral force vibrations are observed for slip angles above the lateral peak force with clear peaks in the frequency spectrum of the signal at 50 Hz and at multiples of this frequency. These vibrations can lower the average lateral force generated by the tires, and it is therefore important to understand which external factors influence these vibrations. Hence, when using tire models that do not capture these effects, the operating conditions during the testing are important for the accuracy of the tire model in a given maneuver. An Ftire model parameterization of tires used in vehicle-based tire testing is used to investigate these vibrations. A simple suspension model is used together with the tire model to conceptually model the effects of the suspension on the vibrations. The sensitivity of these vibrations to different operating conditions is also investigated together with the influence of the testing procedure and testing equipment (i.e., vehicle and sensors) on the lateral tire force vibrations. Note that the study does not attempt to explain the root cause of these vibrations. The simulation results show that these vibrations can lower the average lateral force generated by the tire for the same operating conditions. The results imply that it is important to consider the lateral tire force vibrations when parameterizing tire models, which does not model these vibrations. Furthermore, the vehicle suspension and operating conditions will change the amplitude of these vibrations and must therefore also be considered in maneuvers in which these vibrations occur.

Tire Dynamics

The tire dynamics simulation was done for the different speeds on the dry and wet roads with Magic Formula tire model. The coefficients of Magic Formula tire model under different conditions were obtained by means of the tire test data based on the nonlinear least squares method. The Magic Formula has a good ability to fit the test data for the longitudinal, lateral force and align moment. The tire dynamics simulation results show that at 30mph the wet tire peak longitudinal and lateral forces are only slightly less than the dry peak forces. The wet tire peak longitudinal and lateral forces decreases as the tire speed increases. This shows that the speed has a larger impact on the tire force. The align moment is relatively small. So it can be ignored in the vehicle dynamics analysis.

ABSTRACT The variation of inflation pressure has an important effect on the mechanical characteristics of tires that can affect vehicle performance, so the influence of inflation pressure should be taken into account in high-precision tire models. Much research has focused on tire mechanical characteristics under different inflation pressures and modeling methods, such as the Improved Magic Formula/Swift Tire model developed by Schmeitz et al. that takes inflation pressure into account. Based on a large number of tire testing data under different inflation pressures, an empirical model can be obtained, but numerous tire tests are expensive and cannot reveal the mechanism. In previous studies, most tire tests were based on load control, wherein the load is constant while the footprint, carcass, and belt stiffness can change with the variation of inflation pressure, making the cornering characteristics much more complicated. Herein, a method of deflection control is used and the contact patch is well maintained. The effect of tire inflation pressure is simplified to be the change of structure stiffness and averaged contact pressure. The effect of inflation pressure on cornering properties under deflection control is systematically observed under different tire deflection values. In addition, a prediction model extended from the Magic Formula model is proposed. The model of Schmeitz et al. [1,2] needs test data from at least three inflation pressures; the model proposed herein requires tests at only two inflation pressures. The validation shows that this prediction method has good accuracy, almost the same as that of the model of Schmeitz et al. The error index of the lateral force is at most 2%, and the error index of the self-aligning torque is 4% at the maximum.
