A Hybrid Computer System for the Simulation of Vehicle Dynamics 700154

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.
