Abstract

The aerodynamic influence of a passing vehicle on the motion stability of other vehicles is discussed. According to the results of wind tunnel tests and actual car tests, it is found that the interference phenomenon can be treated as a quasi-steady problem when relative speed is small. The influence of relative speed on vehicle motion stability is also examined. A small relative speed can affect the vehicle motion because of its long acting time.
