A software tool for simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of passenger cars

Animates simulated tests and outputs over 800 calculated variables to plot and analyze

Used CarSim with the incorporation of MicroStation and it’s coordinates

Railroad grade crossings and their effect on vehicle dynamics.

Does the vehicle calibration make a differnce?

How would the existence of the tracks affect the vehicle dynamics profile?

Can CarSim and Geopak work together?

Pitch- The front-and-rear motion of a car about an axis that extends through the center of gravity. Measured in degrees

Vertical Acceleration-Vehicle hits a bump in the road, the car jumps into the air, and then drops back down onto the road due to gravity. Measured in G-force(m/s2).
