Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)
The student should understand, interpret and explain the following matters: the influence of the mass
distribution on the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour; the different possible configurations of the steering,
suspension, braking and transmission subsystems and their influence on the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour.
Syllabus
1. Introduction to vehicle dynamics.
2. Steering and suspension systems
3. Braking system
4. Transmission system
Software
rFactor
Motec I2 Pro. Software de telemetria.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes
Theoretical-practical lessons: explanation of the concepts contained in the syllabus followed by problem
solving related to those same matters. Laboratory classes: the students will use a driving simulator to evaluate
the influence on the vehicle dynamics of the various configurations and setups of the transmission, brake,
suspension and steering systems. The various components of the vehicle subsystems will be shown in the
laboratory.
Teaching methodologies
Continuous evaluation with a final examination.
Assessment methodologies and evidences
