Abstract

This paper shows that passive response of the vehicle on wind impact can be measured and simulated accurately enough, but these results do not fully correlate with drivers impression of sidewind sensitivity. Measurements have been made on several cars on motorway under natural wind conditions and records of the complete car- driver system have been taken and compared to drivers subjective ratings. A method is beeing presented which shows the correlation of any combination of motion parameters with driver's assessment on sidewind sensitivity.
