Experimental analysis and modelling of longitudinal tyre friction dynamics for abrupt transients

A test vehicle has been used to collect experimental data related to abrupt engine throttle tip-in transients. The data point to a significant dynamic potential of the longitudinal tyre frictional force on an ice surface. Such a behaviour cannot be predicted by using the available brush-type dynamic tyre friction models. Based on the results of experimental and simulation analyses, the LuGre tyre friction model is extended to predict the dynamic friction potential. The extended model is validated against the experimental data.
