Nonlinear Research and Efficient Parameter Identification of Magic Formula Tire Model

Abstract EN

The Magic Formula tire model can describe the mechanical properties of tire accurately and thus is applied in the research field of vehicle dynamics widely.

The Magic Formula tire model has the characteristics of a great number of parameters and the high nonlinearity, so it is hard to identify parameters.

Researchers generally use different intelligent optimization algorithms for parameter identification.

However, in the process of parameter identification, with a few experimental data, parameter identification results generally have the low accuracy, while, in the case of a large number of experimental data, the amount of work done in the experiment will increase and there will be many experimental errors.

To solve these problems, this paper researches the longitudinal force of tire and proposes an interpolation method and a method based on the nonlinear research of the tire force.

The results of parameter identification experiments on the two kinds of tire data show that both of the two methods can be used for the parameter identification of Magic Formula tire model fast and accurately with only a few experimental data.

In addition, this paper proposes a method estimating the maximum longitudinal force and corresponding slip rate.
