  • ME 303: Vehicle Dynamics

    3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

    This course covers design considerations for highperformance vehicles such as competition automobiles and high-speed mass transit vehicles. Considered are propulsion, aerodynamics, stability, down force enhancement systems, braking, and handling. Engines for various vehicles are compared, such as the conventional internal combustion engine, the rotary or Wankel, for competition applications and long-life requirements such as traction engines for rail applications. Also investigated are crash safety issues for both mass transit and competition. Guided vehicles such as mass transit trains and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) are investigated. Future technologies such as magnetically levitated and very high-speed mass transit systems are analyzed. Prerequisites: ES 202, ES 204, and ES 305, or consent of the instructor.
