Five tire models which have the capability of simulating tire traction forces and aligning moment in response to combined longitudinal and lateral wheel slip (breaking and steering) are evaluated in a new set of coordinates designed to simplify the closed-form algebraic traction force and moment expressions. The traction responses of the five tire models are compared and the effects of various assumptions made in the derivation of each model are discussed. A chapter is devoted to tire testing for model input data. Digital computer programs are included. (Author)
