Identification of ground vehicle's aerodynamic derivatives using neural network

Stability of a ground vehicle is dependent on its aerodynamic characteristics when encountered by sudden crosswind disturbances. Aerodynamic side force and yaw moment have been identified as the main influence on the sensitivity of a vehicle towards crosswind, which is largely shape related. A relia...
