“…This methodology was developed to correlate the dynamic ride comfort variables from the simulation with the subjective grades from the expert drivers. It presented good correlation, allowing its usage with the upcoming numerical optimisation process -more details about the correlation results are presented in Vilela et al (2002), Vilela and Gueler (2003) and Tamai (2003a, 2003b).…”

“…This work proposes concurrent use of analytical tools for ride and handling simultaneously through metrics that are current practice for automotive vehicles' development. The handling models used were developed by Barbosa (2011a, 2011b) and the numerical tools for ride comfort were developed by Vilela and Gueler (2003) and Tamai (2003a, 2003b). These tools present two common key characteristics that make them very suitable for a numerical optimisation process: they are extremely efficient computationally and, at the same time, they present accurate and consistent results with respect to the physical phenomena they intend to reproduce.…”

This text presents a new proposal for an overall ride and handling metric to be used to optimise vehicle performance through concurrent simulation models. The proposed metric has the intention to cover simultaneously the most relevant aspects of a passenger vehicle dynamic behaviour. The individual models for ride and handling have been validated against physical measurements in order to assure a reliable output. A numerical optimisation method is used to simultaneously evaluate the complete vehicle dynamic performance related to the single overall metric. The results show an effective way to improve the vehicle performance based on this new proposed metric, with gains in terms of reduction in development time and cost for new projects.
