Complex chassis systems operate in various environments such as low-mu surfaces and highly dynamic maneuvers. The existing metrics for lateral motion hazard by Neukum [x] and Amberkar [x] have been developed and correlated to driver behavior on straight line driving on a dry surface, but do not cover low-mu surfaces and dynamic driving scenarios. As a result, an improved methodology for evaluating vehicle yaw dynamics is needed for safety analysis. Vehicle yaw dynamics safety analysis is a methodical evaluation of the overall vehicle stability with respect to its yaw motion. The yaw safety analysis is crucial for understanding how a vehicle responds to various driving scenarios, maneuvers, and external forces, and it plays a significant role in evaluating the overall safety and performance of vehicles.
