Abstract
Effects of suspension geometry on vehicle dynamic characteristics were investigated with an actual vehicle. For this purpose, we developed an electric vehicle with variable geometry suspension, and evaluated three geometry patterns by performing steady state circular tests. Furthermore, the vehicle dynamic characteristics were examined with multibody dynamic analysis under the same conditions. By comparing these results, the effect of suspension geometry on vehicle dynamic characteristics are discussed in this paper.
