Simulation of the dynamics of pneumatic tired vehicles often severely strains the capabilities of ordinary analog and digital computers. This paper shows why a hybrid computer, combining the best features of both the analog and the digital, is ideally suited to vehicle dynamics simulation. The elements of a typical modern hybrid computer system are outlined, and the rationale behind the specification of such a system for vehicle dynamics simulation is given.
