This presentation introduces an integrated vehicle dynamics measurement system that combines optical velocity and sideslip angle measurement, dynamic camber and wheel position analysis, and wheel force measurement within a unified approach. Using a Formula Student race car as an example, it demonstrates how synchronized acquisition of all relevant parameters enables a holistic characterization of the complete vehicle system. The system allows investigations that would traditionally require dedicated test rigs such as 4/6-post or K&C rigs, but under real driving conditions. The goal is to elevate correlation, system understanding and performance development to a new level.

• How the combination of optical velocity, sideslip angle, dynamic camber, wheel position and wheel forces enables full-vehicle characterization
• How vehicle dynamics parameters typically requiring K&C or 4/6-post test rigs can be captured under real driving conditions
• How synchronized multiparameter measurement significantly improves system understanding between tires, suspension and body structure
• How measurement data can be used effectively for validation, correlation and model calibration
• How a holistic measurement approach directly contributes to performance optimization and competitive advantage
