Vehicle Dynamics Committee
1.Aim of activity
In addition to autonomous driving and the shift to electric vehicles (EVs), the advancement of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), connectivity, and the use of generative AI is further diversifying the ways in which cars are used and the forms they take, and efforts to improve the dynamic performance and safety of automobiles are entering a more sophisticated stage. It is necessary to deepen and integrate the theories of vehicle motion and control that have been built up to date, motion control systems and driver assistance systems using various devices, autonomous driving technologies, and knowledge of handling stability, comfort, and ride quality, by incorporating verification using data-driven methods and digital twins in addition to conventional detailed dynamic analysis, and to reconstruct this knowledge system into one that can be applied to the design and control of diverse mobility systems. Based on these trends, the activities of this committee aim to investigate and examine future directions regarding the progress of human-centered mobility systems, such as improving vehicle dynamic performance, safety, and comfort, and to return the results to its members.
