EFFECTS OF DESIGN AND OPERATING PARAMETERS ON HANDLING BEHAVIOR OF A THREE-WHEEL VEHICLE

2021 Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology  
Active camber control system is very promising method for handling performance improvement specially for three wheels vehicles. This paper is the first part of a comprehensive study related to the development of a suspension control system applied to a tadpole vehicle utilizing active camber control system. The effect of the vehicle configuration is studied, as well as slip angle effect on vehicle dynamics. Matlab/Simulink ride/handling models including viscus damping and coulomb friction are

The results showed noteworthy improvement for yaw angle response, rollover, and lateral acceleration threshold. Notable stable and safer cornering performance proved to be achievable.
