    This document discusses one-dimensional vehicle dynamics when a vehicle is parked on level or inclined pavement. It provides equations to calculate the normal reaction forces under the front and rear wheels when a vehicle is parked on level ground. It also provides an equation to calculate the normal reaction forces under the wheels when a vehicle is parked on an inclined surface, accounting for whether the parking brake is applied to just the rear wheels or both front and rear wheels. Examples are given to illustrate how to use the equations to calculate mass center position or normal forces under the wheels.

    Chapter 3
    One Dimensional Vehicle Dynamics
    3. Forward Vehicle Dynamics

     Straight motion of an ideal rigid vehicle is the subject of this chapter.

     Air friction (air resistance) is ignored and examine the load variation under
    the tires to determine the vehicle’s limits of acceleration, road grade, and
    kinematic capabilities.

    Figure 1: A parked car on level pavement

     Wheel base of the vehicle, l = a1 + a2


    Con…………

    When a car is parked on level pavement, the normal force, Fz , under each

    of the front and rear wheels, Fz1 , Fz2, are:

    where, a1 is the distance of the car’s mass center, C, from the front axle, a2 is
    the distance of C from the rear axle, and l is the wheel base.
    Con…………

    Example 1: Reaction forces under wheels


    A car has 890 kg mass. Its mass center, C, is 78 cm behind the front wheel
    axis, and it has a 235cm wheel base.

    Example 2: Mass center position


    Reaction forces under the front and rear wheels of a horizontally parked car,
    with a wheel base l = 2.34m, are:

    Fz1 = 2000N and Fz2 = 1800N

    Find the longitudinal position of the car’s mass center.


    Con…………

    Lateral mass center determination.

     Most cars are approximately symmetrical about the longitudinal center plane
    passing the middle of the wheels, and therefore, the lateral position of the
    mass center C is close to the center plane.

     However, the lateral position of C may be calculated by weighing one side of


    the car.

    Con…………
     Assume the parking brake forces are applied on only the rear tires. It means
    the front tires are free to spin. Applying the planar static equilibrium
    equations,

    where, φ is the angle of the road with the horizon. The horizon is
    perpendicular to the gravitational acceleration g.
