Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.
His book, Theory of Ground Vehicles, is a seminal work, is widely cited. Wong's research interests include terramechanics , off-Road vehicle mobility, road vehicle dynamics , computer simulation of vehicle systems, computer-aided methods for design evaluation of transport vehicles, air cushion technology, and advanced guided ground ...
Understeer and oversteer are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of the vehicle to changes in steering angle associated with changes in lateral acceleration. This sensitivity is defined for a level road for a given steady state operating condition by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in document J670 [ 1 ] and by the ...
Directional stability is stability of a moving body or vehicle about an axis which is perpendicular to its direction of motion. Stability of a vehicle concerns itself with the tendency of a vehicle to return to its original direction in relation to the oncoming medium (water, air, road surface, etc.) when disturbed (rotated) away from that original direction.

In off-road conditions, KDSS activates when it senses that a wheel has dropped. [ 2 ] The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System was first available as an option on the model year 2004 Lexus GX 470 , a sport utility vehicle that was only sold in North America, and based roughly on the 120 Series Land Cruiser Prado .
In vehicle dynamics, slip angle [1] or sideslip angle [2] is the angle between the direction in which a wheel is pointing and the direction in which it is actually traveling (i.e., the angle between the forward velocity vector and the vector sum of wheel forward velocity and lateral velocity , as defined in the image to the right).
