TY - JOUR A1 - Hirschberg, W. A1 - Rill, Georg A1 - Weinfurter, H. T1 - Tire model TMeasy T2 - Vehicle System Dynamics N2 - This paper describes the semi-physical tire model TMeasy for vehicle dynamics and handling analyses, as it was applied in the ‘low frequency tire models’ section of the research programme tire model performance test (TMPT). Despite more or less weak testing input data, the effort for the application of TMeasy remains limited due to its consequent ‘easy to use’ orientation. One particular feature of TMeasy is the wide physical meaning of its smart parameter set, which allows to sustain the identification process even under uncertain conditions. After a general introduction, the modelling concept of TMeasy is compactly described in this paper. Taking the standard tire interface (STI) to multibody simulation system (MBS) software into account, the way to apply TMeasy is briefly shown. This includes three selected examples of application. The final comments of the authors on TMPT describe the experiences and earnings received during the participation in that programme.
