Abstract:
Summary Tyre behavior plays an important role in vehicle dynamics research. Knowledge of tyre properties is necessary to properly design vehicle components and advance control system. For that purpose mathematical models of the tyre are being used in vehicle simulation models. The Magic Formula Tyre Model is a semi-empirical tyre model which describes tyre behavior quite accurately. The Magic Formula Tyre Model needs a set of parameters to describe the tyre properties; the determination of these parameters is dealt with in this paper. A new method based on genetic techniques is used to determine these parameters. The main advantages of the method are its simplicity of implementation and its fast convergence to optimal solution, with no need of deep knowledge of the searching space. So to start the search, it is not necessary to know a set of starting values of the Magic Formula parameters. The comparison between analytical optimization methods and the method proposed is discussed in this paper.Document Type: Research article
