13. Prerequisites  
14. Description of lectures
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the dynamic models of road vehicles. Within the scope of the course, students will be able to familiarize themselves with the various combined longitudinal and transverse vehicle dynamics models of vehicle and vehicle combinations, including tire models. The subject assumes basic mechanical mechanics of the vehicle.
Vehicle behavior and stability issues.
Modeling Basics.
Modeling solo vehicles with a bike model.
Modeling trailers with a bike model.
Two-gauge four-wheeled vehicle model.
Two-gauge four-wheeled vehicle model with trailer.
Basic rubber modeling considerations.
Tire brush model.
The "Magic Formula" tire model.
The "tight string" tire model.
Analysis of three modern tire models. (RMOD-K, Ftire, MF-Swift)
15. Description of practices
 
16. Description of labortory practices
Computer exercises; MATLAB and SIMULINK programming, implementation of vehicle models presented in lectures.

18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
One midterm exam and one individual homework. Final grade comes from the result of exam.
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
The midterm exam can be retried once or the individual homework can be delayed completed.
