Abstract
Vehicle understeer is rigorously defined and discussed as it pertains to directional control of an automobile. Methods are presented for predicting understeer quality in proposed vehicle designs and for measuring understeer quality in existing vehicles. The methods make possible complete and accurate quantitative descriptions of vehicle understeer.
