主题：Improvement of vehicle dynamic performance using unconventional wheel interface
内容：The important performance of dynamics of vehicles is compatibility between stability and steering ability. For achievement of compatibility a lot of studies on suspension system and wheel/tire dynamics properties have been made in railway vehicles and automobiles. In this presentation, we propose an unconventional approach for wheel interface to improve vehicle dynamic performance dramatically. The use of negative conicity of wheel tread for railway vehicles and camber control of tire for automobile have possibility to get compatibility between stability and steering performance. Several experimental and simulation examination will be shown.
