Modeling of single track vehicle's dynamics based on co-simulation

To investigate the dynamic characteristics of single track vehicles, a driver-vehicle closed-loop co-simulation model was built. The model consists of two parts: a multi-body dynamic model built in Adams and a driver model built in Matlab based on the theory of 'single point preview optimal curvature model'. The paths for the slalom test and the lane change test were designed respectively according to 'Test procedure for vehicle's handling and stability simulator'. Co-simulations with the driver-vehicle closed-loop co-simulation model were undertaken, and results show that it can well follow the paths. So its rationality could be validated. The co-simulation model built provides an effective measure for research of the dynamic characteristics of single track vehicles.
