Original abstract

This work evaluates a methodology which is capable of reliable estimation of road vehicle’s crosswind sensitivity. It is based on a mathematical model of a vehicle which takes aerodynamic loads into account. Validation of this model was conducted by means of technical experiment, when the vehicle crosses through a wind gust as defined by ISO 12021. The influence of individual model inputs on evaluation criteria of vehicle’s crosswind behavior was determined in a sensitivity analysis. It is therefore possible to establish the model error caused by possible inaccuracies of input parameters.
