Handling Tire Modeling (HTire)
Two variants of the Magic Formula approach are made available: the widely used 1989 version (MF89) and the most recent 2002 version (MF2002). The latter is comprehensively documented in chapter 4 of Pacejka’s famous textbook: Pacejka, H.B.: Tyre and Vehicle Dynamics. Butterworth Heinemann, Oxford 2002 (referred as [PAC] in the sequel). The cited book also contains the complete set of all equations implemented with the MF2002 horizontal forces sub-model.
HTire is meant to complete the FTire tire model family in situations where speed of computation is more important than accuracy in dynamic situations or prediction capabilities of a physically based tire model.
