Performance is central to all aspects of vehicle design, from concept to final manufacture and vehicle set-up. This book presents automotive engineers with the understanding of various aspects of performance, the methods used to calculate and optimise that performance and how each separate performance factor combines at the whole vehicle level.
Introduction; Vehicle systems affecting performance; Basic vehicle characteristics affecting performance; Tyre adhesion and rolling resistance; Air resistance; Transmission losses; Vehicle moving at constant speed: Traction forces and power requirements; Steady state cornering: Simple model; Maximum vehicle speed; Starting/First gear ratio; Intermittent gear ratios; Tractive effort-speed and power-speed diagrams; Vehicle Acceleration; Vehicle braking; Fuel and energy consumption; Route simulations
