Influence of mass parameters on the vehicle driving dynamics

This diploma thesis deals with assessment of weight parameters impact on driving dynamics. History and basic categories of personal vehicles are described in the introductory part. Weight parameters and driving dynamics of personal vehicles are described in the next part. Methodology and results of realized driving tests (braking test, circular test and avoidance maneuver) are presented in the experimental part of this work. Simulation of realized driving tests that was made by simulation software Virtual Crash is devised in the penultimate chapter. Evaluation of results that were found out from realized and simulated driving tests is made in the last chapter. Achieved results are briefly summarized in conclusion
