EDSVS (Engineering Dynamics Single Vehicle Simulator) is a simulation of the repsonse of a vehicle to driver braking and steering inputs. The user provides a set of initial conditions (position and velocity) and driver inputs. EDSVS determines how the vehicle responds to those inputs by generating the path, velocity acceleration, tire forces and other data as a function of time.
EDSVS is a 3 degree-of-freedom (yaw plane) analysis; suspension effects are ignored, but quasistatic load transfers are calculated using current forward and lateral accelerations. EDSVS incorporates a powerful, new tire-terrain interaction model that allows vehicle motion to be simulated on 3D surfaces.
