Find out how Bugatti is developing and building functional vehicle dynamics components for high-performance vehicles using additive manufacturing technology
Active safety control methods govern wheel-slip control based on the wheel-slip ratio, which relies on information from non-driven wheels. However, for EVs with AWDF or 4WD, new methods are required
Frédéric Biesse, tire performance analysis expert at Michelin, introduces the tire giant’s quest to learn more about the behavior of worn tires – particularly in wet conditions. Predicting worn tire performance and communicating it to consumers and law makers can be a dark art…
Jan Friederichs, research assistant and PhD student at the Institute for Automotive Engineering (IKA) and RWTH Aachen University, shares his vision of how dynamic tire footprints can help enhance and validate tire simulation
Bad strategy rather than tactics, such as misjudged new models, will kill several major automotive companies, reports business intelligence firm IDTechEx
Brake failure is a common occurrence and an increasingly dangerous problem on the roads today. This is because the majority of cars and trucks on the road are driving on aftermarket brake pads made from black steel, compromising performance and safety
From the VDI archives: Formula 1 driver turned dynamics guru John Miles shakes his thing
Clive Hartley, a partner at Quarterre Design Studio, discusses the reinvention of classic cars through the use of modern components and engineering. These ‘resto-mods’ combine the beauty of classics with contemporary vehicle dynamics, but do they indicate deep love or a lack of confidence?
