A preview of the new longitudinal wheel dynamics model coming to Vehicle Physics Pro, based on our recently completed internal paper.

From three wheel inputs, drive torque (Td), brake torque (Tb), and tire friction (Tf), the model derives the resulting wheel force (F) and torque (T). It also lets computes the net shaft-supported torque Ts.

This versatile model produces physically correct behavior across the full range of wheel angular velocity and hub velocity: high speed, low speed, and static equilibrium, with perfectly continuous transitions. Angular inertia and simulation delta time are built in as well, preventing numerical oscillations across the entire input domain.
