Lateral Vehicle Dynamics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Vehicle Dynamics and Control

Part of the book series: Mechanical Engineering Series ((MES))

Abstract

The first section in this chapter provides a review of several types of lateral control systems that are currently under development by automotive manufacturers and researchers. The subsequent sections in the chapter study kinematic and dynamic models for lateral vehicle motion. Control system design for lateral vehicle applications is studied later in Chapter 3.
