Abstract


This paper analyzes the lateral dynamics of the vehicle withindependent suspension. The tests have been made driving inan incremental acceleration mode under conditions of a circulartrajectory within 10, 15 and 20-meter radius. The literature reviewprovides a summary of recent research re-lated to the topics discussedin this article. The article looks at the interaction of thesnowy and dry road with wheels and its influence on the lateraloscillation of a vehicle. The displacement of different sides ofvehicle suspension and its variation in acting lateral accelerationhave also been estimated. Data on the performed tests of theconducted research have been graphically plotted thus presentingthe summarized results and conclusions.
