Abstract

Abstract Many vehicles in urban and suburban environment are occupied just by one passenger, i.e. by a driver. Therefore, it is worth to think about vehicles, which would be smaller and lighter and which would include environmental-friendly power source. One such vehicle is the presented three-wheeled electric vehicle. This vehicle is designed for one passenger and it is powered by an ecologic electric powertrain. Therefore, it is necessary to research its driving properties. There are two types of vehicle designs, an original design and a modified design with a reworked body. Both are characterised by the symmetrical distribution of the mass to the longitudinal axis. In terms of driving properties of the vehicle, overturning stability during cornering and vertical dynamics in terms of safety are assessed for both original and modified designs. The article presents the main description of the original and modified designs of the three-wheeled vehicle and results from simulation computations focused on analysis of the over-turning stability. It has been revealed that the original vehicle, which is lighter, has better dynamical properties in curves with regards to driving and the higher total weight of the modified vehicle is safer in terms of vertical dynamics.

从驾驶安全角度研究三轮电动汽车的动力特性

摘要城市和郊区环境中的许多车辆仅由一名乘客占用，即由一名驾驶员占用。因此，值得考虑的是车辆，它将更小、更轻，并将包括环保电源。一种这样的车辆是所提出的三轮电动车辆。这款车是为一名乘客设计的，由生态电动动力系统提供动力。因此，有必要对其驱动特性进行研究。有两种类型的车辆设计，一种是原始设计，另一种是经过改装的车身设计。两者的特点都是质量在纵轴上对称分布。就车辆的驾驶性能而言，评估了原始设计和修改设计在转弯时的倾覆稳定性和安全方面的垂直动力学。本文主要介绍了三轮汽车的原始设计和改进设计，并对其转弯稳定性进行了仿真计算。研究表明，原始车辆更轻，在弯道行驶时具有更好的动力特性，并且改装车辆的总重量越高，在垂直动力方面就越安全。
