Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

Students:
- know the basics dynamics
- know the vehicle linear and horizontal dynamics
- know tire contact theory
- know acceleration and deceleration force effects
- know the basics of aerodynamics.

Content (course unit)

The course covers the road and the tire contact during acceleration and braking, evasive maneuvers, performance and consumption calculations, forces, traction resistances and wheel power measurement, industrial vehicle special dynamics, aerodynamics and acoustics of the vehicle.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Can recognise components and systems of a car. Can calculate components, but can't explain choices. Can work in a group and recognise interaction skills. Can recognise automotive way of acting.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

Can analyze components and systems of a car and compare then. Can calculate components and explain choices. Can work responsible in a group and is ready to improve interaction skills.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

Understand all-round components and systems of a car. Can calculate components in a specific car and create new solution. Can work responsibly, flexibly and constructively in a group. Is ready to improve own and group interaction skills.

Location and time

The course will be in period 2 according to schedule.

Exam schedules

There will be one or two examinations. It depends on the execution and will be told when the course is beginning. The abandoned examination can be done again in next two examination event after the course has finished.

Assessment methods and criteria

The grade will be determined by:
- tractive force / speed diagram 40 %
- braking balance exercise 20 %
- driving dynamics examination 40 %.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

The course consist of lectures, exercises and exams.
