Abstract
Very few o-road vehicles are used exclusively under o-road conditions. Good o-road mobility dictates large high aspect ratio tyres
with aggressive tread, low ination pressures, soft suspension for good comfort as well as other vehicle parameters including large ground
clearance and the related high centre of mass. This results in less-than-satisfactory vehicle handling and high rollover propensity on hard
terrains at higher speeds. In order to simulate vehicle handling and roll over propensities, on non-deformable terrain, tyre characteristics
in the form of side-force versus slip-angle curves, as well as suitable tyre models are required. For large o-road tyres these characteristics
are not readily available. Tyre manufacturers either do not have these characteristics, or do not openly publish them. Similarly, the
majority of tyre models have been developed and validated for passenger car tyres and their applicability to large tyres are unknown.
The purpose of this study is to measure side-force versus slip-angle characteristics for a Michelin 16.00R20 XZL tyre typically used
on o-road trucks. The data is used to parameterise Fiala, UA (University of Arizona), Pacejka89 and FTire models. Simulation results
are compared to both steady state and dynamic handling test results to determine the accuracy of these models.

1. Introduction
Air lled rubber tyres are used in many applications,
ranging from bicycles, motorcycles, all terrain vehicles
(ATVs), passenger cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs),
busses, trucks, tractors, military vehicles and aeroplanes.
Very few o-road vehicles are used exclusively under
o-road conditions. Good o-road mobility does however
dictate large high aspect ratio tyres, with aggressive tread,
low ination pressures, soft suspension for good ride comfort as well as other vehicle parameters including large
ground clearance and the related high centre of mass. This
often results in less-than-satisfactory handling and high

2. Tyre models
The current friction coecient of slip, lcurrent , is a function of the static, ls , and dynamic, ld , friction coecients
as well as the longitudinal slip state of the tyre. The current
friction coecient is given by:

The lateral force is then calculated for the elastic deformation state, jaj 6 acritical , by evaluating:
