Abstract
This article introduces a new and freely available Modelica
library, called WheelsAndTires, for modeling wheels and tires.
The contained models are intended to be used in vehicle
simulations, where computational performance is a major
concern. Semi-empirical single contact point models are well
suited for this kind of applications and are therefore applied
in the presented library.
The WheelsAndTires library provides a tool to quickly build
custom tire models, and allows a convenient customization of
existing models. This is achieved by a modular and expandable
design system utilizing well established models. In addition,
a set of ready-made models is provided to allow a quick insight
in the used modeling structure and to enable a direct
application in vehicle models.
