With an increasing trend towards higher operating speeds and complex multi-body vehicles, the dynamic aspects of vehicle behaviour have become important. The major considerations in the design and operation of vehicle include: i) Passenger Comfort ii) Ride Safety iii) Design of suspension system for fatigue & strength iv) Stability & controllability of vehicle. This workshop is aimed to give insight into the aspects of system dynamics of vehicle for better performance.
