iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I would like to thank to God because I manage to complete my final year project without facing any severe problem. I am indebted to my supervisor, Ir. Mochamad Safarudin for his priceless effort in assisting me during the project period. Ir. Mochamad Safarudin was always there for me whenever I find difficulties in completing my task. I have learned a lot from him and I am very lucky to get him as my supervisor. Special appreciation goes to one of my favorite lecturer, Dr. Khisbullah Hudha for providing many helpful suggestions and comments for improving this project. I specially thank to my mother for her continuous support throughout the project. I would also like to thank Mr. Zulkiffli, and Mr. Ubaidillah for their time, concern and efforts given during the process of producing this thesis. A word of thanks is given to my friends for their constructive ideas in completing this report.

v ABSTACT An accurate vehicle model is important to represent the behavior of the vehicle. There are many vehicle models built for the study of the vehicle dynamics specifically for the ride and handling behavior. This project describes the vehicle model development of the vehicle model to study the behavior of the vehicle. The derivation of a 14 DOF vehicle model consisting of ride, handling and tire model is presented. Three types of tire model namely Calspan, Dugoff and Magic Formula is developed in the Simulink and their performance for longitudinal force, lateral force and aligning moment was investigated and compared with the CarsimEd outputs. The most accurate tire model which follows the output of the CarSimEd was chosen to be coupled with the 14 DOF model. All the assumptions made for the 14 DOF vehicle model is stated. This 14 DOF vehicle model will be then validated using instrumented vehicle for two steering inputs namely step steer, and double lane change. The deviation of the outputs specifically the yaw rate, lateral acceleration and roll angle of the vehicle body and also the slip angle at each of the tire from the 14 DOF model simulation from the experimental results is discussed.

Terdapat banyak model kenderaan yang dihasilkan bertujuan untuk mempelajari dinamik kenderaan terutamanya kelakuan tanggungan dan pengendalian. Projek ini menerangkan tentang pembangunan model kenderaan untuk mempelajari kelakuan kenderaan. Pengembangan untuk model kenderaan dengan 14 darjah kebebasan mengandungi model tanggungan, pengendalian, dan model tayar ditunjukkan. Tiga jenis model tayar iaitu Calspan, Dugoff dan Magic Formula telah dibangunkan dalam Simulink dan prestasi untuk daya dalam arah x dan y dan momen dalam arah z telah disiasat dan akan dibezakan dengan CarSimEd. Model tayar terbaik yang mengikuti response CarSimEd akan dipilih untuk digabungkan dengan model kenderaan 14 darjah kebebasan. Semua andaian untuk model kenderaan dengan 14 darjah kebebasan disertakan dalam projek ini. Model kenderaan dengan 14 darjah kebebasan telah disahkan dengan menggunakan data eksperimen untuk dua jenis pengemudian iaitu pengemudian pemalar dan perubahan dua lorong. alat untuk keputusn yang diperolehi melalui simulasi model kenderaan 14 darjah kebebasan berbanding keputusan daripada eksperimen dibincangkan.
