This paper presents improvement of a rotational surface-contact tire friction model, which has been proposed by Kikuuwe et al. (2006), for driving simulators. This paper extends the previous model by including the anisotropy of viscoelasticity and the dependency on the normal force. The parallel viscoelastic element is proposed to reproduce smooth transitions from the static friction to kinetic friction, which have been empirically observed and have been reproduced by Pacejka’s Magic Formula. This proposed model leads to better results for both longitudinal friction force and lateral friction force as compared to the previous model.
