Sliding Car

Examining different car wheel setups is crucial to evaluating if a certain wheel is suitable to drive on a certain terrain. The model presented here will examine different wheel types interacting with different ground types.

The Model

Modeling interaction between a car wheel and the ground requires using different friction coefficients for different combinations of tires and surfaces. For example, a summer tire on dry asphalt could have a friction coefficient of 0.9, while the same tire on ice would have a friction coefficient of about 0.1. In addition to the friction coefficient, essentially everything else about the tire might also be different; for example, radius, mass and even the friction model could be different. To model this problem efficiently, a model has been set up in a planar environment (based on the TwoTrackWithDifferentialGear model from the PlanarMechanics library) with a replaceable wheel model. By changing this wheel model, all four wheel-to-ground models are replaced instantly, while the rest of the model remains the same. The model examines the car’s behavior when making a sharp turn.

Simulation Results

To see the difference between two scenarios, you can simulate two different cases and examine the animation (seen in the following video). In both scenarios, the car will accelerate, going straight forward, and then do a sharp turn after 7 seconds. The scenario with summer tires on asphalt can perform this without problems, while the summer tires on ice start slipping almost instantly.

Compare two different scenarios: the left video with a car with summer tires on asphalt, and the right video with a car with summer tires on ice. You can see traces of how the tires move throughout the simulation.
