Investigations of short-term maneuvering behavior of vehicles moving on snowy roads

Abstract

The paper presents the results of vehicle dynamics moving on a snowy road with short-term maneuvering. A 3D mathematical model of the vehicle was developed to evaluate the interaction of the wheels with the road. Maneuvering a vehicle is a periodic rotation of the front wheels at a small angle (2 degrees) with a frequency of 0.7 Hz. Vehicle movement was examined when the front wheels were rotated five times. The kinematic and dynamic parameters of the vehicle are presented.
