Which Model is Best for Studying Vehicle Dynamics and Safety Algorithms?

AI Thread Summary
To study vehicle dynamics and safety algorithms like ABS, TCS, and ESP, a more advanced model than a quarter car is needed, as it only addresses longitudinal dynamics. The discussion revolves around choosing between a Bicycle model and a two-track model for better analysis of under-steer and over-steer. The Bicycle model simplifies the vehicle's dynamics, while the two-track model provides a more comprehensive representation. The user seeks guidance from experienced individuals in vehicle dynamics to make an informed decision. Engaging with the community can help clarify which model best suits their needs for realistic simulations.

Hi everyone,

I want to build a car-model which should be good enough to study under-steer/over-steer and test various safety algorithms like ABS, TCS, ESP. Initially I made a quarter car model, here I could implement simple ABS,TCS. Quarter car model supports only longitudinal dynamics and is not adequate for realistic new tasks I have mentioned above. So now I am confused on which model to implement, I have two options Bicycle model and two track model. Based on your experience or knowledge please guide me.

I am new to vehicle dynamics and modelling.
Thank you all in advance.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
