1 Subject content and applicable scope
This Standard specifies the criterion thresholds and evaluation methods of
controllability and stability for automobiles.
This Standard is applicable to the automobiles that are driving on highways, city
roads. For the automobiles that are not driving on highways may refer to this
Standard for implementation.
2 Steady-state rotation test
2.1 This test evaluates and scores according to three indicators: lateral
acceleration an at the neutral turning point, understeer degree U and roll degree
of trunk KΦ.
2.2 See Table 1 for the lower limits of an, U and KΦ: an60, U60 and KΦ60 as well
as the upper limits: an100, U100 and KΦ100.
NOTE:
1) It is used for the automobiles of which the maximum speed is greater than 160km/h.
2) It is used for the passenger cars of which the maximum total mass is greater than 9t.
Criterion thresholds and evaluation of controllability
and stability for automobiles
- The coefficient that is calculated according to the ratio
of U60 to U100;
U60 - The lower limit of the understeer degree, (°)/(m/s2);
U100 - The upper limit of the understeer degree, (°)/(m/s2).
2.5 The roll degree of trunk KΦ is calculated according to the average slope
(divide the ordinate value by the abscissa value) at the position where the lateral
acceleration is 2ms/2 on the curve of relationship between the roll angle of trunk
and the lateral acceleration. The evaluation score is calculated according to
formula (3):
Where,
NΦ - The evaluation score of the trunk roll degree;
KΦ60 - The lower limit of the trunk roll degree, (°)/(m/s2);
KΦ100 - The upper limit of the trunk roll degree, (°)/(m/s2);
KΦ - The test value of the trunk roll degree, (°)/(m/s2).
2.5.1 When NΦ is greater than 100, score as 100.
2.6 The comprehensive evaluation score of steady-state rotation test is
calculated according to formula (4):
Where,
Nw - The comprehensive evaluation score of steady-state rotation test.
3 Cornering with steer release performance test
3.1 This test is evaluated and scored according to two indicators: the absolute
value of residual yaw rate Δr when turning wheel (steering wheel) is released
for 3s and the total variance of yaw rate Er.

steer release performance test;

according to formula (8):
Where,
N’Δr - The evaluation score of the absolute value of residual yaw rate in high-
4.3.1 When NFs is greater than 100, score as 100.
