Abstract: At present, vehicle dynamics model is usually expressed separately in different directions or attitudes, which lacks a unified longitudinal-lateral-vertical dynamics modeling idea. To describe the nonlinear dynamic behavior of complex systems with multi-system coupling, a unified modeling method considering vehicle longitudinal/lateral/vertical dynamics is investigated. A powertrain system model is built which includes the dynamic characteristics of the engine, the driveline system and the wheels. Based on the analysis of chassis kinematic characteristics, Lagrange analytical mechanics method is used to establish a strong nonlinear unified dynamics model of vehicle that reflects synchronously the longitudinal, lateral and vertical kinetic characteristics. The suspensions and tires models are built to obtain the generalized force that acting on the chassis. Both simulation modeling and real vehicle verification of the unified model that consider longitudinal/lateral/vertical dynamics are carried out using the standard data and the measured data of a vehicle. Results show that the vehicle dynamic model can accurately simulate the complex dynamic behavior of the actual vehicle, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed modeling method are verified. A high fidelity simulation carrier is provided for intelligent vehicle control system design and function verification, and the development time of control algorithm is shorten.
