Measuring tyre characteristics in the longitudinal direction on a Formula student car

This diploma thesis deals with longitudinal characteristics of tyres. Its goal is to create measuring algorithm and a whole process of measurement for these characteristics. The introductory part contains descriptions of key parameters. Following is the description of specific procedures leading to determination of these parameters. Thesis also includes description of sensors which are used for measurement of key parameters. The emphasis of the thesis is targeted towards keeping the costs low and making the whole process as repeatable and simple to prepare as possible. The proposed methodology in this thesis considers use of measured data in combination with data determined by performing analysis in Adams View. This analysis is necessary for determination of values of our coefficients, which deal with anti-feature parameters of the suspension. The final data processing and evaluation of the results is performed in MATLAB software
