Abstract

A basic study on the optimisation of the handling behaviour and active safety of road vehicles, derived from [157], is presented. The aim of the chapter is to describe how to tune the front and rear tyre cornering stiffness of a vehicle in order to obtain a preferred compromise among the many conflicting objective functions (i.e. performance indices) which describe the handling behaviour and active safety.
