Abstract

The objective of this project was to determine the feasibility of estimating steering response characteristics for both individual vehicles and entire vehicle populations as they are affected by in-use tire and loading conditions. Provided feasibility was demonstrated, a second objective was to calculate the distribution of these response characteristics for an at-risk vehicle population and an accident-involved vehicle population. In this manner, the role of vehicle handling in accident causation could be evaluated in terms of these particular characteristics.
