Abstract
In the paper analysis is presented, which concerns the impact of both the road surface condition and the change in a vehicle model center of mass location on the course of the normal reaction forces, acting on the wheels versus the distance travelled during the braking maneuver. The road was flat in one case, and randomly uneven in the other.
Research was based on the simulation of a motor vehicle model in MSC Adams/Car, for two different road conditions, with braking starting from the speed of 100 km/h. Such attempt enabled analysis of the influence of both mass – inertia and road condition on the wheel normal forces. The results may as well serve as a cognitive element, showing the specifics and the range of changes in the derived parameters.
