A hybrid computer simulation for vehicle handling studies has been implemented, checked out, and validated. The simulation has been programmed to study both solid rear axle and independent rear suspension vehicles. Model validation was accomplished using parametric data representative of four 1971 vehicles: Volkswagen Super Beetle, Chevrolet Brookwood, Dodge Coronet and Pontiac Trans AM. Braking, steering, and combinations of braking and steering were the inputs to the mathematical model. The hybrid vehicle handling program can be used for general studies of vehicle dynamics. A special interactive user's interface has been added to allow program use by vehicle engineers as well as computer specialists.
