Exemplary Determination of the Adhesion Ellipses Based on Simulation of an Accelerating Motor Vehicle

Summary/Abstract: In the paper, some selected results concerning the ellipses of adhesion for various conditions of motion of a vehicle model, have been presented. The analysis, regarding the phenomena between the road and the wheels of the given motor vehicle's model, was previously carried out in the earlier paper by the author. However, they proved useful for the second part of research based on determination of the ellipses of adhesion. This can enable answering the question whether the road conditions may affect the maximum longitudinal and lateral forces combining such ellipses in the contact plane between the road and the wheels. The analysis has been presented based on the previously obtained results.
