Abstract
When traveling, all vehicles are subject to several dynamic excitations. The induced vibration and noise has a number of effects on the vehicle and its occupants ranging from the integrity of the structure to the perception of comfort and driving performance.
High levels of vibration and noise tends to reduce comfort, the outcome being increased fatigue of the driver that in the long term has an impact on safety. The dynamic excitation induces repeated loads on the structure that reduce its life due to fatigue, hence influencing the safety and reliability. Dynamic loads acting on the tires have a negative influence on the longitudinal and side slip forces, reducing the accelerations that can be achieved during traction, braking and cornering. The result is again reduced safety.
