Abstract: Tires are the only earthed part of the vehicle, which provide all the driving, steering, and braking force needed by the vehicle to move. The tire model is the basis for automobile dynamics, the further development of vehicle dynamics and control technology depends on accurate tire modeling technology. A simplified tire physical model considering the tire deformation hysteresis is proposed. Combined with the resistor-capacitor(RC) hysteresis operator, hysteresis characteristics of the tire in compression and rebound of the body, loading and unloading of braking force are analyzed, and the tire steady-state model HysTire and dynamic model Dyn-HysTire under longitudinal slip conditions are established respectively. To verify the accuracy of HysTire model and Dyn-HysTire model, the Pirelli tire test data of longitudinal slip condition are modeled. The modeling results show that the steady-state HysTire model and the Magic Formula(MF) have similar fitting precision, while the Mean Square Error(MSE) value of the dynamic Dyn-HysTire model which introduces the slip change rate decreases by about 30% comparing to MF, which significantly improves the tire simulation accuracy. In addition, Dyn-HysTire model also can express tire unsteady characteristics comparable to LuGre model and PAC2002 model. Finally, it is further verified in the 1/4 vehicle ABS simulation. The results show that compared with the MF, the Dyn-Hystire model with hysteresis characteristics can better reflect the real mechanical characteristics of tires, and the simulation accuracy of vehicle dynamics is improved.
