RESEARCH IN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AUTOMOBILE CONTROL AND STABILITY

THE relationship between handling and automotive control and stability is examined and defined, and brief review of the state of the art is presented before describing current research in this field.

The automobile's response to steering control is the specific handling behavior discussed in this paper which describes (1) the development of the vehicle's lateral equations of motion, (2) their subsequent experimental verification, and (3) uses the substantiated theory to explain certain basic steady-state and dynamic properties of car handling.
