Abstract
In this paper, the cornering drag caused by camber angle was analyzed and verified based on simple physical tire model and measured tire data. It has been clarified that the drag generate from camber moment, and the drag coefficient to lateral force by camber angle is larger than that by slip angle. Considering its characteristics, vehicle dynamics in linear region of tire forces was studied. It has been shown that how to use camber thrust to minimize cornering drag, and efficient wheel alignments design where equivalent cornering stiffness vs drag are well-balanced.
