Title: Analysis of Vehicle Longitudinal Dynamics for Longitudinal Ride Comfort
Abstract: Longitudinal ride comfort is one of the most crucial features to most advanced vehicle control systems. Literature review shows that the ride comfort analysis in vehicle longitudinal motion can be divided into two categories: time domain and frequency domain. Most vehicle longitudinal control designs incorporate jerk and acceleration constraints from the time-domain comfort criterion. However, the vehicle longitudinal characteristics in the frequency range important to passenger ride comfort are rarely discussed in the vehicle control literature. This paper proposes an improved vehicle longitudinal model that captures tire and suspension modes accurately and investigates the impact of these often-ignored vehicle resonant modes to ride comfort. This study shows that the "tire-mode switching behavior" affects longitudinal ride comfort of a stopping vehicle rather than the suspension. A passenger car was tested as an example, and the collected data verified the analytical prediction from the improved vehicle longitudinal model.
