A comparison of crosswind calculations using a full vehicle and a simplified 2D model

Last updated on 15 August 2014 4:25

High-speed vehicles are exposed to crosswinds that can result in the overturning of the vehicle. As part of the vehicle homologation process, the characteristic wind curve (CWC) must be calculated to determine the maximum vehicle velocity under different wind conditions. European Standard EN 14067-6 presents different approaches for studying this...
