Abstract |
|
|
| The vehicle swing is a major factor on driving safety and comfort, while the acceleration noise is exactly a description of vehicle swing. Thus, acceleration noise can be a good evaluation indicator of driving safety and comfort. First, the vehicle forces are analyzed in three dimensions, and six vehicle swing models (VSMs) are established based on different road structure by combining acceleration noise theory. Then, the time discrete method is used to further discretize these models for easy calculation and application in practice projects. Finally, a large number of simulation experiments are performed with appropriate roads. The simulation results show that curvature radius, ramp angle, and superelevation slope angle are the major influence factors to driving safety and comfort. This paper not only provides mathematic expression in driving safety and comfort evaluation, but also has certain reference to the geometric design during the design of new highway. |
