To compute longitudinal force, lateral force, and self-aligning torque in the contact coordinate system, the user must perform a test to determine the precise operation conditions.
The conditions of interest are:
• Case I:
• Case II: and
• Case III: and
: Lateral Tire Stiffness by Slip Angle
: Lateral Tire Stiffness by Camber Angle
The lateral force can be decomposed into two components: and . The two components are in the same direction if and in opposite direction if .
