Hall 10
Wednesday, May 21, Hall 10 - morning session
Mercedes-Benz analyzes the smallest vehicle movements in order to perfect the driving characteristics typical of the brand. Hear how the slip angle helps with this and which sensors are used. One critical parameter in vehicle tuning is the vehicle's slip angle. This angle represents the difference between the vehicle's longitudinal axis and the velocity vector at a defined point of measurement. It provides valuable insights into tire and axle characteristics and general stability criteria. With advanced chassis systems such as rear-wheel steering, the measured slip angles can become very small. High resolution and accuracy are essential.
